Modern Art 3

I really enjoy Matthew Collings videos about modern art. He breaks it down to show you different examples of artist and give you a small biography of them. I enjoy most the art shown on this video, but I wasn't a big fan of Basquiat. I don't see ANY beauty at all, on his paintings. Maybe my mind is not open enough to see through his gruesome beauty. My favorite art on this video was Gary Hume, his work was very interesting and wasn't straight to the point like Alex Katz or Matisse.

1. Why does Oliski paints at night?
2. Do you think Basquiat can paint the same without the influence of drugs?
3. What does it mean to Alex Katz to paint Elegant?
4. What religion was Matisse?
5. Why do we find it so hard to see the beauty on some modern art like Basquiat work?
