Anyone trying to dictate what art must be or pin any definitive indicator of quality on it doesn't understand art.

It does remind me of communism in its dreary lack of humanity and/or inspiration.

Good on you for not getting tricked into appreciating something.

I would when they're saying dumb **** that starts with "art must".

I try my best to appreciate things but if I don't like it then you trying to convince me it's good by making it seem smart won't work.

All I can say is that the position of the shapes creates a neato sorta 3D effect if you look at it for a few seconds and I like how the colors aren't totally solid and have texture but otherwise it's obtuse in the kind of way that seems smugly hostile to people without art degrees.
