I love modern art. Especially the kind that looks "real" but couldn't
possibly exist, like glass spiral trees or whatever. I even like just plain
photographs of things like mountains, fish, etc. Nature is beautiful. What I
hate are those really old, pre-renaissance paintings where people just
painted people and everything was flat. What's so aesthetic about a bad
painting of a chubby explorer with a huge mole that has no depth (except the
fact it's worth a fortune)? Even with the introduction of perspective, a lot
of paintings during the 1500s and 1600s still lacked shading and still only
showed people and buildings.
