In modern times Da Vinci would have held degrees in several fields: civil engineering, math, biology...

Some modern art is still acceptable sometimes, but sometimes when I see modern paintings I always say to my wife: the children have spilled some paint again. My comment on some "installations" is: another illegal dump. 
Not art :

Well, there is a famous story in France where a conceptual artist got his open field exhibition nicked by a scrap metal merchant who thought the community would appreciate the cleanup.

OTOH I have some fondness for Calder's "stabiles" and in la Defense in Paris I find his "Red Spider" much more appealing than Miro's colored turds on the opposite side of the plaza.

Agree, the spider is still recognizable, I thought the design of Miro's thing was made by some kids.

No one knows what an alien looks like, even if Scully and Mulder didn't...

It's getting worse, two trashed beer cans in a corner of a museum are "artwork"

"which looks like two crushed beer cans, was thrown away by a mechanic at a Dutch museum." (the mechanic thought it was trash as he does not have a degree in art...   )

Visited the "Tate Modern" in London and I sure hope the janitors are told which is which.
