I believe that many forms of modern art, such as the Fluxist movement or Dada are vastly inferior to the type of art produced in Ancient Greece or the Renaissance. CMV.



One of the crowning achievements is Dada is an upside down urinal.  Seriously?   I mean I get that there is a meaning and a message but compare that to the crowning achievements of the Renaissance.  The Sistine Chapel ceiling or the Davids.  

Yoko Ono once stood in front of an audience and asked them to cut at her clothes until she was naked.  It's kind of thought provoking, but how can you compare that to Egyptian funerary masks or the Venus de Milo?  

There is no skill involved in flipping a urinal upside down or standing around naked. CMV.

Edit:  I'd just like to thank everyone for the wonderful replies.  Keep 'em coming!

You're not comparing the same things. Yoko Ono wasn't trying to make a Greek sculpture, so we can't compare her sculpting ability.  The urinal was supposed to be funny. It wouldn't be fair to criticize the David for not making me laugh. 

Probably more importantly, no one paints portraits anymore because we have cameras and other technology. That's a big part of why modern are is different. 

The renaissance is a far bigger movement than dada. Dada was only a few people for a few years. They weren't sponsored by the pope. It would be much more fair to compare Picasso or Van Gogh.
