contemporary art = idea ???

Last Saturday I've been to RAI Amsterdam Contemporary Art Gallery: www.kunstrai.nl
It was interesting for the 15 euro enterce paied! Or, in other words, really happy that we decided to go with the tour-for-dummies.

It's fascinating to see the country art differences: europe - fighting being childish paintings and game-computers screen desktops, japan - manga paintings, india - half yes, half no.

The guide-tour said that we must look behind the colours, to see the painting. Does this mean that we should always focus on the idea, and forget about the form? Does this mean that the normal brush-paintings are old-fashioned? Then why do we still find Rembrand canvases to be the greatest? (note: greatest and not expansive, as the comtemporary-work standard price is 3600 euro)

I saw one great idea: The Unknown Women = tens of photos of unknown women with the back-side full of information about famous women. Tens of photos of perhaps great women who had the misfortune to be born in a wrong century! I took a photo, I read it's back-side and wonder what impresses me most: the deep-concentrated face or the written lines about the woman who influenced YOGA...(Scary, I do not remember the name to none of them!)...
Note: below is such a photo. Click on it to see it clearly and part of the back-side text

There was still a young painter with superb old-fashioned-portrets! They were all already sold out! So, it's not always the idea! Even "aceiasi Marie cu alta palarie" can still be great (if the heat is on-fashion)!

Tring to find other amazing-art-works (didn't succed), I ended up looking after gays and trying to figure out who are the artists... Not too bad for 15 euros.

[P.S. Definition:] interesting art = hated it, but I feel non-contemporary-intelligent if I say it.
