While statues of great men are torn down across the West, our cities are littered with meaningless, soulless and ugly so called 'Public Art' pic.twitter.com/Ls4Tl8JDQe

Ugly “public art” reflects the ugliness of the soul of the culture that put it up, so I guess you could say it’s symptomatic of where we are today.

Yes, but… Not all of us, and why should you and I have to put up with such garbage?
We don’t:

Oh yeah? I hadn’t heard about that. But heroic eastern Europeans are in general resisting assimilating into western decadence; good on them.

I have been redpilled on many things, but I still don’t get the problem with (non-blasphemous, non-seuxal, non-satanic) modern art. What is wrong with it?

Of course, not all modern art is bad, but much or most is.
Reasons, apart from obvious ones for content of much (sexual, blasphemous, satanic, etc.)?
Those which aren’t depraved or outright wicked are often just plain ugly, or boring, or insipid, tasteless.
Art should express beauty; art should be uplifting, enobling.
Above all, art should be understandable without having to read an explanation of what it means; art should not be excessively polemical or political.
Most of modern art, esp. public art, taxpayer-subsidized, fails on several or all of those counts.

I’m figuratively smacking my head right now. Taxpayer funding! If people did this on their own dime for the sake of whimsy, that would be fine. How could I forget about the money?
