I May Not Know Art

...But I guess I have figured out what people don't like -- or at least won't comment on.

     Edited to add: See, it's a joke, like?  I wrote about books and writers, and people got wordy; I wrote about art and artists, and they sat there quietly picturing things.   It's hard to type a painting; you can do it but it really calls for a monospaced font.

  1. You got two responses...that would be a record day for me.

    Now, if had tied in some kind of pop-reference, like you and Tam had worked your way onto a parade float, reenacting Feris Bueller's Day Off, you would have gotten more responses.

  2. Sorry to disappoint, but the Monday after Thanksgiving isn't my best day for art appreciation. That's the day I begin dreading the impending Christmas season.

  3. I was just kiddin' -- I write about books, people get wordy; I write about art, they sit there picturing things. :)

  4. Good one, Roberta, Better in some ways than Charles M. Russell (the Montana artist)on artists, "an Artist is the only thing you can say you is that nobody can say you ain't." Judging by what I've seen of a lot of NEA endowment recipients, that's even more true today than 100 years ago.

  5. It worked with the WPA, it works with the NEA.

    The keep tellin' me how the rich are richer than ever. Maybe it's because most of them stopped patronizing Art? It certainly explains a lot about Art.
