THIS. i think many people dont like this painting bc its not figurative art. they think its not art bc it isn't aesthetically pleasant to look at & doesn't portray an identifiable object or person but rather an abstract/idea concept.
the first painting is called "who's afraid of red, yellow and blue". the purpose of this painting was very much to raise controversion and discussion about art, which has been happening for years. the painting has been destroyed, attacked by a knife, because someone was that+

im not saying art shouldn't be pretty but it shouldn't be its exclusive goal. art can become a way to discuss controversial topics, such as abstract art n its meaning in this painting's case.
