It's not your fault if you don't understand Conceptual Art.

Conceptual Art has a negative reputation, and it's the punchline of a slew of jokes. What is it about abstract Art that makes it so perplexing? How do curators make it appealing to the public? What exactly are we talking about when we say "conceptual art"?

What Is Conceptual Art?

It's not a manner, not a trend; it's a process.

Conceptual Art, widely regarded as one of the most radical and divisive movements in modern and Conceptual Art, was based on the assumption that the concepts involved in creating an artwork took precedence over the actual work. The term Conceptual Work was coined in the 1960s in America, and it often refers to Art created during the mid-1960s and 1970s, with this period laying the way for other unorthodox trends to develop after it peaked.

A related form of real-world Art is conceptualist art. While a word scrawled on a wall may be considered Art, it may not be seen for a long time. There is a chance that this transient art form will be preserved in the future through notes or photographs, but the essential worry is that this work survives in a documented version and is not the simple thing in a tactile form. Conceptual ism, on the other hand, might be regarded as liberty. The core aesthetic concept can be expressed in any medium, and it can often be depicted on a blank canvas, as in several of Fred Forest's works.

Art is a language

In the 1960s, language was a powerful instrument for Conceptual artists. Many artists substituted language for more traditional materials such as brushes and canvas, and words played a crucial role in emphasising ideas over visual forms.

When visiting European Museums of Conceptual Art, which are permanently housed in costly buildings with generally remarkable architecture designed by prestigious architects, the visitor is compelled to wonder: How do they manage to impose this official Conceptual anti-art, which is everywhere ugly, absurd, provocative, botched, sad, uprooted, obsessional, and, as a result of all of this, completely artificial?

How do they keep this enigmatic, incomprehensible, hermetic discourse hidden from the general public? And why is it the case?

It's simple to figure out: they do it on purpose.

The Why is similarly straightforward; like with ancient Art, it is the idea that motivates this work of Art.

Official Conceptual Art is not a fluke, an accident, or a momentary blunder; it is a long-term commitment, a mission for society. A project related to a new religion of man and his reason emerged relatively recently in human history. Our elites want an art separate from the peoples, Art for the avant-garde of the Intelligence's chosen ones, the Initiates, to which they claim to belong, in the name of this faith in human Raison. Art was a means of engaging with people and influencing them by transmitting a shared ideological message for the elites of previous eras.

For spontaneous and genuine artistic expression, seek beyond the Art of the Top Eye: photography, street art, private, local, and regional commercial painting. 

Throughout human history, Art has shown to be a relatively dependable revealer of ideological and political predominances. Dominances that are long-term or only brief. With its slaughter of beauty and meaning and reluctance of elites and peoples to embrace a familiar aesthetic, conceptual Art could be the forerunner of a new great massacre of the innocents by political and intellectual elites.
