Modern Art, You Deserve to Appreciate It Many people had asked, why did you choose modern art as the topic of your Ezine? Well, I have to admit that was a good question. To be honest, I had also asked myself: why did I choose it? I had no idea but that does not mean that others do not have neither. Someone said: I chose it because of its power! Someone else also claimed: I am interested in it due to its influence! I could even hear a voice, tiny but strong: its beauty! Yes, they are all right! Those are all the reasons why we want to talk about modern art, a study which is abstract, but always accompanies us in our lives.

The power of modern art, is like the atomic bomb, but is more powerful than that. Nowadays, art is no longer only a kind of study, but has become a sharp sword, which can fight against the unfairness of the society, which can struggle for the respect of human rights. A good example is Conchita Wurst, the champion of the Eurovision Song Contest in this year. In the past days, she exactly demonstrated how to use art to fight for the rights of human beings. Her song, “Rise like a Phoenix” spread the wish and determination to the whole of Europe, by asking respect and tolerance for the individuals’ choices. In this case, modern art was utilized as a bullet to strike back to the prejudice. Modern art was used to defeat bias. It was another hero in this “smokeless war”.

“Never underestimate the influence of art”, which is a very common quote from artists, musicians even politics. The influence of art is often positive. Like the power of it which can achieve goals directly, the influence of art can affect


the public indirectly. At the stage of joining the Second World War, the majority of the American citizens had a pessimistic view of it. Then, the painter Jack Kirby created the hero “Captain American” to encourage the domestic atmosphere. With the victories coming continuously, the comic character “Captain American” became the true figure in the mind of American civilians. As the U.S. growing to the biggest power in the post-war period, the quality like confidence, bravery and heroism which came from “Captain America” had become the symbol of the United States and the representative of American people. Until now, “Captain America” is still using its influence to publicize patriotism. This is the best illustration of the art influence.

Beauty, which accompanied art when it was born, always deserves to be appreciated. From the colour of paintings to the melody of songs, the beauty of art is the most attractive and impressive attribute. This kind of beauty can touch our souls, move our hearts and arouse our minds to live. If we imagine that one day we are living without art, can we for sure call ourselves human or we are just walking bodies without souls? That is the real magic of art. It gives us soul and brings the beauty and enjoyment to us.

Why do not people prefer to go to museum? In recent, more and more museums are built and opened to the public. However, the majority of them have a same issue that they are losing their consumers. In other words, with the raising of museums, the supply is increasing, but as the customers declining, the demand is also decreasing. Why do many people abandon museums? This is an ineluctable question for those museums. In order to fix it up, they need to find the underlying causes and make solutions. . Undoubtedly, the first reason should attribute to the changing taste. As the developing of technology, modern society has been transformed and advanced in many areas. As a result, people’s lifestyles, consuming concepts and


behaviors have been developed as well. Many consumers do not want to appreciate the antiques any more, especially the younger generation. In contrast, they prefer to do something fresh and chase for stimulations and entertainments. It is easy to understand that they hold little patience to learn the inner value of those complicated terms and lifeless products in museums. No attraction in museum is the most negative reason.

Another factor should be blame for lacking technological advancements. Exhibitors should upload equipment and facilities to attract visitors. Nevertheless, what they have done is to keep displaying those collections in a changeless and monotonous way. They overlook the advantage of high technology and lack courage to break the stereotype. This conservative behavior of museums causes halt even regression. As the demand of tourists reducing, the income of museums is coming down. When museums raise the entrance fee in order to maintain the income, they lose more customers. Finally, they fall into a vicious circle.

Comparing with other sites like theaters, they are more capable of catching visitors’ needs and demands than museums. Visitors want to refresh themselves, accept new stimulation and touch enjoyable things. Theaters renew the content of their performance to attract people from various age groups. In addition, they decorate their facilities, such as a cafÊ, seats, and halls to comfort the customers and provide multiple serves. Furthermore, they promote themselves by advertisements and commercials. The only one goal is


to make the theaters themselves attractive and popular. Customers hear a positive attitude from theaters and are willing to visit and spend money there.

The actions of theaters can be regarded as a good solution to the problem of museums. Initially, Museums should throw out their conservative attitude. To illustrate, they need to utilize high technology to progress their exhibitions. More importantly, they must try to understand the visitor’s wants and needs. To be more specific, it would be better to use colorful lighting devices, high definition screens and intelligent systems to help visitors to appreciate the art works. Museums should provide with more attraction to draw the visitors.

Apart from that, individuals should also promote their awareness on vising historical collections. It is understandable that people like to seek for exciting movies and popular concerts. However, visiting the museum is also a good way to enjoy our life. By viewing the antiques and masterpieces , our visions will be enlarged and the dimensions of our knowledge will be broadened. Besides, the governments should also assume the responsibility to advertise the importance of culture, by providing financial aids to museums and encourage the citizens to visit museums.

To conclude, although museums are losing visitors, they can solve that problem from many ways. If museums can be reformed base on customers’ taste, the problem will be solved.
