Groupon Says
Guide to Art Museum Banter
Because Americans and a few other nationalities increasingly use the Internet to satisfy our appetite for art with computer-generated masterpieces, art museum attendance has decreased. By forgoing brick-and-mortar locations, art aficionados not only miss out on the world's most renowned works, but more importantly, neglect to develop the art of art museum banter about art. Before taking advantage of today's Groupon, memorize these art criticisms, which are guaranteed to apply to any work in the Art Institute:
- The brush stroke is large. It would not shock me if the artist painted with a wig or mop. Do you agree with my point of view?
- The way color is used is breathtaking. It is either red, blue, green, or purple, but I would need to take a closer look to be sure.
- Some say those are boxes, but to me they appear as triangles. Either way, this painting is about Lou Gehrig's desire to adopt a dog.
