I love art. I enjoy strolling through an art gallery and enjoying the paintings and sculpture. I've been to the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy. I've seen the Venus on the half shell. I've been to the Louvre in Paris. I've seen the Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo. I've been to the art gallery in Chicago and seen American Gothic. I've been to the National Gallery and seen the Gauguin collection and a special showing of Calder's work. I've been to the impressionist art museum in Paris before they moved it to the train station and now I can't remember what the name was 'cause I'm old and old people forget stuff. Anyway, I enjoy art.
How come there is so much bad art out there? I work at a college. There is TONS of bad art here. Most of it is very ugly, depressing and bland. I guess when you have a lot of young people and a lot of angst and lots of art materials you can get a lot of bad art.
Why am I telling you this? They've removed the ugly art in the hallway leading to the ladies room in my building. Yippee!!! I think. Who knows what they will hang to replace the piece I am certain was a representation of a dead cow? Or what will hang instead of the special piece consisting of a black line and black outline of a circle and a red dot? Or, what will replace the piece that looked like black ink watered down and smeared across the paper? Btw, what is the deal with all the black. Don't we buy colored paints or inks or anything with a splash of color? Or, can we have art that is a representation of something identifiable? Just a question. Anyway, now we have blank walls and the improvement is ENORMOUS. Time will tell.
Oh, and don't think a college is the only place with bad art. There ought to be a law.
Em, send some art my way. We need some beauty over here.
