T.S. Eliot on Twentieth Century Art

The following quote from T.S. Eliot illustrates a lot of reasons that I create and enjoy modern art:

"Twentieth-century art may start with nothing, but it flourishes by virtue of its belief in itself, in the possibility of control over what seems essentially uncontrollable, in the coherence of the inchoate, and in its ability to create its own values."

-T. S. Eliot

I like art that has a poetic rhythm to it, or lack of a traditional structure; something that creates an entirely new plane with a new language, free of traditional symbols or implied notions. I cannot express this idea enough; I just don't get art that merely strives to recreate life and celebrates when it does so.
