As I've made clear in a previous posting (An Afternoon at MoMA), modern art is not something I like, but I've recently discovered an artist whose combination of Classic and Modern styles creates something really unique; Mark Demsteader, a British contemporary figurative artist.
Demsteader.com I love his work! The beauty of his subjects is evident, but by combining his realistic style with rough, strategically messy clothing and a slightly blurred haloing of the skin, he creates something ethereal and haunting. So, while modern art on it's own is just a waste, aspects of it are useful for enhancing what I would refer to as "true art."
