MOMA
RF and I went to the Museum of Modern Arts otday. We talked about visiting the MOMA for a long time. Randy had never been there before. I had been there once about 6 years ago. To be honest, I think we may NOT revisit MOMA again. No disrespect to the artists and people who appreciate their work, but frankly, they were too abstract for us. We didn’t appreciate/understand most of the “arts” we saw today. We understand modern art tends to be abstract but this was too much. We scratched our heads to most of the pieces and asked often “how is this art?” The exhibit we appreciated the most was probably the collections of microscopic and telescopic photography. Those at least were things (1) we understood and (2) we thought were hard for the normal person to do. Unlike some of the other abstract pieces which frankly could’ve been done by anyone but because a certain artist did it, it’s art. The one I found most ridiculous was one of 4 black bolts bolted onto a white canvas to form a square. Where’s the art in that??? If I bolted 4 bolts to a white canvas to make a square and submitted it to the museum, would they have taken it and displayed it as “Modern Art by ITF”? I think not. So where’s the art in that???
