If it needs an explanation it's bad art.
One of my pet peeves is when artists have to explain their work before it makes any kind of sense. Most modern art falls into this category.
Seriously, a circle on an otherwise blank canvas is just a circle, not art.
A canvas that is just randomly spattered with paint is not art, it's just a mess.
Am I a phillistine? Some would say so, but I think art should invoke an emotional response in the viewer( not disgust or bewilderment) , or should strike them as beautiful.
I always get the image that modern artists are like 3 year olds, running up to the public, holding up their latest drawing and saying "Look what I did!"
"That's nice.....it's a....a...."
"It's a house! Can't you tell?"
