What is modern art?

Modern art is a catharsis of our inner turmoil, reflecting humanity's repressed chaos rather than the beauty of creation; true art can only emerge from an integrated being.

— Osho
According to Osho, modern art is largely a catharsis—a psychotic eruption of repressed sexuality, anger and violence—so it reflects modern humanity’s inner misery rather than creating beauty. As a mirror, it is realistic but has lost the artistic touch. Only with the birth of a new, integrated human being can a truly new, beautiful art arise.

Modern art is people dumping their bottled-up feelings onto canvas; when people heal inside, art will become beautiful again.
