Barnett Newman
The trip was interesting, but I still cannot say I am a fan of most modern art. I always considered art the creation of a thing of beauty (granted this is somewhat subjective). It seems to me that too many of the artists were more interested in being the first to try something new, and they seem to believe it is their sacred duty to shock and offend the world. That is why I enjoyed learning about Newman's painting, he did it specifically to shock artists.

I agree with you on how interesting some of the art is. I guess I need to stop saying "I could do that" It takes one person to come up with something unique and interesting for it to start a new trend. I have never been to MoMA, it was a great eye opener to see all the simple art and unique and different types of art that we wouldn't see as art. Hint Hint "shovel".
