Yeah, I know what the difference is. First off, he did it first, which, like it or not, has its merit.
But more importantly, his pieces are the result of dedicated study of perception and visual balance. I just did random straight lines and coloured a few random areas.
People often see that kind of painting and go "well my kid could do that", but in reality you can only say that because someone else did it. If they hadn't done it, I can assure you none of the people who scoff at modern art (that is, art between 1850 and 1950, not the true garbage people put out nowadays) could ever think of doing something like that.
It's kind of like punk rock, except there's a vast and complex world of ideas, experiments and studies behind most of the avantgarde artistic movements of the late 1800's and early-to-mid 1900's.
Alright, you can shoot me now. Also no, I don't have an arts degree or anything like that. I just like history and art, and therefore have read quite a bit about art history.
