And yet, it is more important - not the "what" and "how" ...

Right.
That's Gelman about the same:

is interesting that the recognition of "I do not understand modern art" served with bravado. And of course, "but I understand the good old-fashioned"

in my "do not understand" can be creative individual artist and the art can "not know." And to understand contemporary art is much easier than the art of the artist who created 200 or 400 years ago. Then why is this phrase so often repeated?

1. because they are really saying "I do not understand why it's called art." That is the modern artist is faced with prejudice at the level of the terminology:
- Art is something that is drawn (slepleno, written) hand of the artist
- Art is something that requires an apprenticeship, certain craft skills
- Art is something that "represents"

2. because they are really saying "I do not understand why this product is considered good art," I do not understand how to distinguish the good from the bad. I do not know where I get the criteria. In the limiting case of "why it is so expensive."

3. Because impute any work of their own idea of ​​what is the purpose of art:
- Has something to teach
- Should be beautiful
- Should be similar
- Must be unique
- Should be sacred
