Picasso, Pollock and Warhol

Artists are bizarre and brilliant all at once. This Pollock guy, I had never heard of him before. I guess instead of really helping me see the art in his art I just see madness. I still don’t really get non objective art. It may be kind of easy to read it the way you see it or give it your own interpretation of it but what’s the point of it? Now Warhol I had heard about when I was in high school. I definitely thought he was older and dead longer than I learned from the videos, which doesn’t make sense because I also thought his art was digitalized photographs. I always thought that it was cool his “simple photographs” were so well received. Learning that these famous pieces of his were all painted is pretty incredible, he is definitely more talented than I had ever given him credit for. But after watching these videos i’m still not a fan, was he trying to reduce arts worth for fame? Or was he so blinded by his hunger for glamour and fame that he didn’t even know he was doing it? After having his near death experience, enduring the pain of his wounds and painting about death so much did he hope to die more than living? Now Picasso I knew since my childhood, we owned miniature versions of his paintings and had them around the house. I was always curious to know why were these odd paintings so famous, they are a bunch of random shapes barely understandable as a whole. Now my question is what was Picasso’s purpose in creating such a different kind of art? Was he trying to find his aesthetic, be different or simply exploring the possibilities of what could be done? Now after watching these videos it seems as if almost anything can be art with such awkward pieces being so admired. What does the world think of art? Does it still have the value and impact as it has had in the past or is it disregarded and worth less because people don't have the time for it any more?
