      Learning that a lot of "modern" artists who make art "a 5 year old can make" often are actually skilled at "traditional" art who choose the direction they took helped dewormed my brain. Personally, I went to a museum of a local expressionist artist where his works are arranged chronologically, where I saw how he went from realistic portraiture to his iconic self-portraits.

      Picasso is kind of a shithead but he's a good extreme example as he can paint like the old masters at such an early age (15), yet choose to make the stuff he's famous for because he was bored with realism.

      edit: Seriously, just pick any artist you consider "modernist" and google "[artist name] early work".

        Picasso is cool, I like his one about the US doing warcrimes. Possibly cause I can just look at it and tell what it's about lol.
