I don't 'get' art in general. See people in front of pieces like you posted admiring the vision and message in the art. Shut up.
 
The artist is dead. Automatically makes their pictures "better".

If you ever want to become rich by being an artist, fake your own death!

Besides, in the second one, can't you see the symbolism behind it?

The artist is clearly using the smaller orange rectangle to represent himself. The larger orange rectangle of a slightly different shade represents society as a whole, and with the positioning, size and shading of the smaller rectangle, he is showing that, whilst he knows he is a part of society, his inner angst prevents him from fitting in perfectly, because he's a special little *********. He uses the rectangle shape to symbolise the sharp edges and clearly defined corners of his personality, and the colour orange because carrots are orange. Carrots supposedly help you see in the dark, and he's using this as a metaphorical parallel to how only he can "see" clearly in the darkness of life, whilst everyone else is blinded.

Edit: now trying to work out if the OP is trolling or the first 2 pictures really are different...

Edit 2: he's fixed it now. The artist has done a very good job of combining photorealistic techniques with "having an epileptic fit whilst holding a paintbrush" modern art techniques. The depth he's captured in the woman in the foreground, against the painting in the background is phenomenal.

I don't understand why people buy/make cars that go over over 70 miles per hour ?

The first one looks like a 4 year old had a tantrum with some paint :)

Personally, I try and live and let live. I don't pretend to even comprehend how anyone could call those images 'art'. I could go as far to say they are images of expression, but they are so abstract that any message they could contain is simply lost on me, and therefore pointless.

Granted, that may not be the same for everyone, but this kind of 'modern art' is not what I personally class as art. If others do, and they are prepared to pay millions for what amounts to a canvas full of paint splodges then more power to them.
 
The top one is priceless to the mother of the 3 year old who painted it. The second one is the attack of the flying banana and the last one is a post box.

I don't mind the second one but the buyer needs their head screwing on for spending that much on it, and it is the cheapest of the lot!
