The Emperor Has No Clothes

That, or he is very badly dressed. The Manolo has a low opinion of "transgressive fashion". Like most abstract art, it hides a lack of talent behind pretended statements of profundity.

I'll try to say this as respectfully as I can, but after looking at the examples that you point to, I don't think that I need to qualify the statement.

Fluidity and creativity, fine. There is a place for fantasizing the world in art. But splotching paint on canvas (e.g Pollock) is not art. It is noise.

I'm sorry if this is insensitive. But I really can't see it any other way. As rude as it might seem to say it, the Emperor really is naked.
