I just have issues with art which is abstracted to the nth degree to convey a singular tenuous concept. It's not art it's just the artist's way of stroking their own egos. Mental masturbation at it's worst.

Ah yes... Expressionism. .. In their own mind and band wagon mentality of others who think they sound educated

No expressionism I can handle. It's once the artist leaves the aesthetic side to concentrate purely on the concept. A slashed canvas is just a slashed canvas. A pile of woven steel wool just looks like a giant turd... They may represent the concept but for me if the concept isn't also aesthetically pleasing then why bother?
That's why when I end up at the Tate I always seem to gravitate to the cubism and pop art sections. Warhol & Lichtenstein managed to convey both the concept and produce a work that was aesthetically pleasing separate from the concept.
