I was thinking about two of my least favorite periods of art--the rococo and modern abstraction. It occurred to me that rococo threw everything in and modern abstraction threw everything out. Both were at root elitist movements which spoke little to the ordinary person but had pretentious ambitions. For me, extended looking led to boredom. They burned themselves out and left their practitioners little room to grow.
I wasn't sure what to think about my thinking. But there it is.
