Alright. Did some searching, and found a bunch of examples of modern art that I think have good artistic merit. I'm not saying these are "stand the test of time" type pieces of art, but instead: modern artists aren't all bad. Given I found so many examples, I'm going to break apart what I found into 4 different comments

    youtube

    deviantart

    street art

    moma

because to put it all in one comment would be way too much.

Here's art I found on DeviantArt. I tried to find artists on the site who showed actual artistic talent, and chose examples so I can show there are artists alive currently just starting out or currently practicing who have good skills.

Whoa! Thanks for this list! Luckily it's a rainy morning here so I'll be able to sift through all of it. Summoning nathank in case he hasn't seen it.

(bowing and doffing my cap) The pleasure was mine.

Gods, how I wish it were raining where I'm living.

Wow, thanks for putting all of those together!

Given no one replied for quite some time, I was beginning to worry I had put forth too much content to the point where I overwhelmed/disinterested people. So, thanks. =)

They were great! It just took some time to get through them and then work got in the way of replying.
