>I have argued here on feelies that really great art needs to be accessible on many levels and needs to appeal even to the "uneducated"< My $.02: A lot of modern "non-representational" art is the product of specialization. I look at the art of Pollock or Miro or Calder, and I say "aaah, I don't get it". But Motherwell hits some deep primal chord in me - and Rothko is a soothing vision of inner peace. Go figure. I didn't study art much, so I'll accept my impressions as "intuitive", untrained by foreknowledge of what critics and historians are telling me he was thinking at the time. I suspect that these modern guys have a less universal appeal than, say, the Impressionists, but each one resonates with a subset of the population, "educated" or no.
