"I am an artist and I am sick of so called art that consists of rubber chickens hanging from dead branches and other such rubbish that I have actually seen in galleries."
True story. My college roommate was an art major. One of her professors kept giving her awful grades on her projects bcse she wasn't being "provocative" enough. So she got a wooden salad bowl and painted it pink. Inside it, she glued a headless Barbie doll, a used maxi-pad, and fake acrylic fingernails. Then she wrote "Womanhood" on the rim of the bowl and turned it in. He gave it an "A."
I took an "Art appreciation" course in college years ago. One piece of "art" I had to critique, and I kid you not, was a room with live wandering turkeys. There was crap all over the place. There was an old TV console without the picture tube, old tables and chairs, couches, etc.
That was it. that was the art.
Needless to say, the critique I wrote was not appreciated. I wrote a beautiful critique of a lifesize painting which was hanging, at the time, in the LA Museum of Art, of a baby's Christening of a prominent family during the turn of the century. The expresions were captured beautifully. I got a "D" in the class. THe only D I received for a class in college.
