See, I think people only appreciate art if they feel that they themselves couldn't do it. It's not that the art is esoteric or abstract or weird, people love The Chocolate Guy, or weird machines in art museums that flail around, because they recognize the amount of skill these artists have. But when they see a piece like IKB 191 (1962), they'll laugh and point and say "I could do that", and won't appreciate the piece until you've explained all the work that went into mixing up Klein Blue and inventing the color. I have to think this sort of reaction is a result of envy, and the belief that someone is making easy money by pretending their art is good, and that art should only be reserved for people that are literal magicians in their talent, and not for people who value the simple methods. The thing though is, if you look at a piece of art and think "I can make that", please do so. Please make that art. These artists who value 'simple' artistic expressions are opening the door for you, they're placing value on art that doesn't take 20 years of apprenticeship to even come close to making. They want you to succeed, make that art. Do it. Make the art.
