We&#8217;ve discussed how contemporary art ranges all over the place and can look very different. Now while I am capable of appreciating that, there are some times where even I cannot understand or see the true artistry presented in the work. Lets go over a few pieces that I don&#8217;t personally like. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;White on White&#8221; by Kazimir Malevich painted in 1918. This piece speaks for itself. No it is not just a blank canvas, the artist just took white paint and painted over an already white canvas. Truly I do not understand this piece and I think it is such a waste of space, not to be rude. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/amberartisticviews\/files\/2021\/03\/cri_000000174840-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"40\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/amberartisticviews\/files\/2021\/03\/cri_000000174840.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/amberartisticviews\/?attachment_id=40\" class=\"wp-image-40\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/amberartisticviews\/files\/2021\/03\/cri_000000174840-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/amberartisticviews\/files\/2021\/03\/cri_000000174840-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/amberartisticviews\/files\/2021\/03\/cri_000000174840-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/amberartisticviews\/files\/2021\/03\/cri_000000174840-768x767.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/amberartisticviews\/files\/2021\/03\/cri_000000174840-1536x1534.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/amberartisticviews\/files\/2021\/03\/cri_000000174840-180x180.jpg 180w, https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/amberartisticviews\/files\/2021\/03\/cri_000000174840.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The next piece I want to focus on is called &#8220;My Bed&#8221; by Tracey Emin from 1998. This piece is supposed to have a deeper meaning for the artist, including underlying tones of depression and such. Personally though I just do not enjoy this piece. Looking at someones unkept and dirty bed whether it be an art piece or not really does nothing for me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"261\" height=\"193\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/amberartisticviews\/files\/2021\/03\/Unknown-6.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly I wanted to talk about &#8220;Equivalent VIII&#8221; by Carl Andre in 1966. Another piece that I believe speaks for itself. I just think that whenever I look at this I just think of my basic woodshed class that was required in middle school. It just feels like a bored kid put these blocks together on the floor and took a photo. Personally I do not see what&#8217;s so artistic about this piece. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"378\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/amberartisticviews\/files\/2021\/03\/carl-andre-equivalent-iii.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"42\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/amberartisticviews\/files\/2021\/03\/carl-andre-equivalent-iii.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/amberartisticviews\/?attachment_id=42\" class=\"wp-image-42\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/amberartisticviews\/files\/2021\/03\/carl-andre-equivalent-iii.jpg 480w, https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/amberartisticviews\/files\/2021\/03\/carl-andre-equivalent-iii-300x236.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As much as I can appreciate and love art, there will always be exceptions to that.
