You're not dominating the thread, your asking thoughtful questions. :-)
Art evolves. Prehistoric cave drawings were the pinnacle of man's artistic ability at the time. Now we can do better. Frankly, my daughter at 3 could do better. Her 3 year old scribbles have as little artistic merit as does this flat blue canvas, and neither belong on exhibition.
A good artist making good art will provoke thought and emotion. Not the pretend awe of a pretentious Soho art crowd, but real thought and real emotion. "Blue" fails here.
