Modern Art... the staues were cool

Some things just should not be considered art. I mean seriously guys I know art is all around us and all but some people take it way to far. I just got back from the Tate Modern Art Museum and while it was very cool and full of the whose who of Modern Artist I just saw some things laying about that didn't really strike me as museum worthy "art". For example, I walked in one room to find a rope lying on the ground. Not particularly arranged in a way to show something it was just piled upon itself in the middle of the floor. I was amazed by this but not for the reason I was there. I was amazed by the fact that this was here and lying on the floor and that the artist is probably making money for taking a mooring line from a dock. I mean seriously is this what art is coming to now? I feel like artist nowadays strive hard to be different and not bound by society. They try to be different for the sake of being different and everyone wants to start the next great thing and it has now gotten to the point of using the simplest object and saying it is art. Another object I saw in Tate was simply a mirror... no frame... no text or any image on the glass a simple mirror and is now art. The excuse for this being art is a mirror of the world so what better way to have a mirror of the world than an actual mirror. Which is all very poetic, but the thing is the artist didn't write a poem about the mirror, he didn't create the mirror, someone else did he just handed it to Tate and walked away. Maybe I'm not a purveyor of modern art as much as I thought I was...sometimes I'm just to much a of a realist. Then again though I feel like I'm a pretty creative kid and I do like to look at art its just I think there should be a limit you know? I could probably make it big by throwing up on canvas or cardboard or something.

Thats enough bashing of the pieces in Tate though, there were some awesome paintings and sculptures to be found here. Some crazy steel or iron structures that look very mechanical and of course Picasso, Warhol, Lichtenstein, Dali, Matisse, Hockney, Bacon, and Rivera can all be found here. So it's definitly worth the look, but if you do go mind your step and look out for ropes you might just be tromping on a masterpiece.
