Fair enough. This artist does have a history of being not liked, I guess. I do believe the Nazis went as far to burn his work for being 'degenerate' in the second world war. However, I don't think it is disputable that this painting is at least better than that stupid star spangled ice cream cone.

However, isn't Alexander McQueens work a prime example of modern art? I guess you were careful to say 'most' modern art.

I kind of art I like best is either beautiful or moving or both.
This is really what to look for, imo. I am a little surprised that you don't find the Kandinsky painting to be at least pretty, though.
I'm not sure what the actual definition of modern art is (I dropped out of my art history classes in college, couldn't stay awake!) but my idea of modern art is basically anything that has splotches or random blocks of shapes with no real representation of anything. McQueen's haute couture work is fantastical and extravagant and reminds me of garments you'd see worn be Queens and Kings in another world. That's why I like it. The example you posted to me are just lines and shapes, I really have no clue what it's supposed to be. :o
