Nov 2012

At least ten years ago (okay, more like 12), we took the metro from VA into DC and went to the Smithsonian. They had a special Picasso exhibit. We entered one room and it was all the "bleu" period. My eldest, about 11 at the time, had just read a book on Picasso. Everyone was standing around quietly and she spurted out, "This must have been from his blue period." Every head in the room turned to look at her.

Then we hit the Modern Art section, Warhole, 20' high white canvases with a single line down them, 30x30 splatter paint, etc. Some guy (think 60's all-in-black beatnik sort) was standing there rubbing the stubble on his chin looking at a 4'x4' canvas that was entirely black. My daughter stood behind him trying to figure out why he was so engrossed in it. Then she said, "Papa, I don't get the point of this one."

The beatnik immediately replied, "Well, if you look at it closely, all of the brush strokes go in this direction except for this little square where they go in a different direction." She looked at me, shrugged, and moved on.

Kids just know.

Art is in the eye of the befuddled.
