Marge is very grateful for the compliments, and so am I!While I've been reading all this (and other posts) she's polished off some little notelets to go in with her sales.
I do quite like these, although I suppose these could also be described as 'modern art'.

You should have been an art critic!

It does , however, have a dumbing effect on many others. Why does it have a dumbing down effect on others ? Again, simple.
Because such so-called "art" can be interpreted as ANYTHING. Maybe it's sadness, or happiness or cruelty or kindness or jealousy. Who the hell knows ? In point of fact we would need the explanation of an art professor, or art critic to explain it to us. A painted 4 sided green square is supposed to represent the 4 women in a man's life? Oh, please. Give me a freakin break.
I could, without any talent, take a paint roller and roll out a totally black canvas. What would it mean ? Black lives matter? The evil of Nazism ? The nothingness of death ?Again, who the heck knows ?
As an aside, who has ever heard of anyone who does not comprehend the grandeur of Michelangelo's The David. no one fails to understand EXACTLY what it represents.

True, it is a very skilfully executed sculpture, but its "grandeur" is a product of the viewers mind, influenced to no small degree by repeated assertions that grandeur is what they are looking at.
We don't need to be told anything. Anyone who can appreciates the grand workmanship of sculpture can appreciate The David.
To me, it represents a rather arrogant young man, blissfully unaware that small willies won't always be in fashion. I do acknowledge that there are other interpretations, and that mine isn't the definitive one.
One piece of ancient art that has always taken my breath away is the bust of Netfertiti… 3,300 years old. She was the number one wife of Akhenaten .. the heretic Pharaoh. The Bust is now in the Neues Berlin Museum. My goodness, what a beauty she must have been.

It’s a magnificent work of art not an easy thing to make marble look like human flesh you can even see the veins in his hands . Michelangelo was only 26 when he made this amazing statue and the marble was flawed it had been rejected by other sculptors.
