An exaggeration I think. Here is some great modern art and literature.

You haven't exactly gone into great detail about why you created this thread in the first place.

Well if you explain what is great about your examples then that will answer your question

Why don't you explain to us all how you scoured the globe to see one hundred per cent of all modern art and poetry.

I shall do that after you explain about why it is relevant or biologically correct to refer to people on Tibb as abortion survivors

I was using hyperbole in the context of an insult. Don't be so stupid. It's not meant to be biologically correct.

Your a grown man. Why do you always feel the need to change the topic to something else?

I await your explanation. After all, you hound people for facts and figures all the time. It's only right that you prove to us how you yourself have witnessed 100% of all modern art and poetry.

Why are Rothko, Breton, Bacon and Picasso not crap? Well apart from the fact that they have given me great enjoyment, I think it's only fair we give more recent works of art the benefit of the doubt and let them stand the test of time. Maybe I would expand on this, but I don't think I am obliged to explain myself when you have remained intentionally vague.
