“Brilliant Ideas” modern art documentaries
Recently I came upon some documentaries by Bloomberg on modern artists that create on a huge scale. I was truly fascinated and inspired!the series are nearly sixty, every video is approximately 25 minutes long. P.S. After I watched nearly 2/3 of the documentaries, I thought:– never comment / judge / reject modern art before you know details on the concept behind it– dream big! dream beyond your own dreams! and in general – don’t stop dreaming!

“33 Artists in 3 Acts”
In my perception art is always divided in two main types: art which has aesthetic merit, is emotionally saturated and open-heartedly enjoyed by a large group of connoisseurs; and the other art which has a pretence for greatness and costs millions, because someone (an expert, to be sure) has whispered to some people with money that this is art and it is worthed to invest. I, personally, don’t have a problem with what one calls art and for how much they manage to sell it (every form of self-expression is art, and apparently it includes cows in formaldehyde, skulls with diamonds, crushed coca-cola cans, ceramic seeds amounting to the population…
