Re: zombie’s post -

Here’s a couple of excellent essays by Stephen Hicks: Why Art Became Ugly

Post-Postmodern Art

I also highly recommend Hicks book: Explaining Postmodernism: Skepticism and Socialism from Rousseau to Foucault

Stephen Pinker’s game-changing book The Blank Slate also has some devastating analyses of modern art.

(And I can’t recommend that book highly enough. If you read only one book this year, make it The Blank Slate!)
