MODERN?particular attitude or style of art making.
My opinion is that new art needs newtechniques. And the modern artists havefound new means of making theirstatements. It seems to me that themodern painter cannot express this age ofthe aeroplane, the atom bomb, the radio,in the old forms of the Renaissance or ofany other past culture. Each age finds itsown technique.

DIFFICULTY OF RECEPTION AND ELITISM
"To appreciate a work of art, we need bring with us nothing from life, no knowledge of its ideas and affairs, no familiarity with its emotions."
- Clive Bell

DIFFICULTY OF RECEPTION AND ELITISM
- Semir Zeki and Ludovica Marini, "Three Cortical Stages of Colour Processing in the Human Brain," Brain: A Journal of Neurology, vol. 121 (1998)
…our brain scans have shown that abstract forms (in contrast with images of people, places, and recognizable things) fail to activate the "regions of the brain traditionally associated with higher cognitive functions"--in particular, the areas that manage both emotion and long-term memory.
