lol the amount of bias you have towards your own culture is astounding.<p>Taste and smell is a HUGELY sensitive skill.  I don&#x27;t doubt that changing the &quot;tiniest detail in a paint&quot; could &quot;totally change the emotions&quot;, but for someone who doesn&#x27;t really appreciate visual art nearly as much as food or music, I could be as easily dismissive towards it as you were towards food.<p>To further counter your arguments, if you A&#x2F;B tested some modern art in a museum vs some art you bought in a walmart, and it was on the same medium (same quality canvas, etc), people would randomly choose one or the other as &quot;better&quot;.
