Thanks for the sarcasm tag. I got similarly reamed a few years ago when I innocently questioned the genius of Jackson Pollock. And no sarcasm was involved. Nothing is quite so effective at removing a sense of humor or tolerance as a degree in Art History.
You can like what you like. Or not. *I* don’t get the featured painting, but that’s me. Of course, if one can create something and have someone else willingly part with large piles of cash for it, all the more power to ya. Things are worth what someone, anyone, is willing to pay for it.
Well, I still have a sense of humor, but I don’t have a PhD. (I have other art degrees, just not the PhD). Not sure about a sense of humor with many academics lately. I’m about to get out of the business.
