I have a new life hero.
I'm not an art expert at all, so I just found out about Cy Twombly. He lived from 1928 through 2011 and his work is apparently highly coveted.
Wikipedia described his style as follows, and I think they're accurate: "Twombly soon developed a technique of gestural drawing that was characterized by thin white lines on a dark canvas that appear to be scratched onto the surface." This piece of his ("Untitled") sold in 2015 for $70.5 million. Here are some other example of his work: I work hard. I try to succeed. But man, this guy had it down. No one has ever been as successful at conquering life as Cy Twombly. He figured out how to make a living doing this. Nothing that anyone else can ever do is going to impress me as much as that. |

$70.5 million, huh? My toddler does very similar work. I'll sell you a canvas for half that.

Did he sell any of his shit while he was still alive?
I know Jackson Pollock stuff sells at a mint and all he did was splatter paint all over the canvas willy-nilly, but I don't think he ever saw a dime when he was alive. |

Pollock was also classicly trained by Kansas City’s own Thomas Hart Benton. Looks like splatters but there IS a pattern there. There are also fun sciency things like fractals there

Modern art is often more about the story and background these days than the actual execution.
