High Art

Next to televangelism, the area of human endeavor with the most crackpots, frauds and outright crooks is art. I struggled to listen carefully to a fellow from the Museum of Modern Art in New York recently as he attempted to explain why a perfectly blank canvas tells us something new about our lives and is, of course, art. Unbelievable!

He actually went on to claim that a supposed artiste, sitting in a chair in a room in a museum looking at a fellow across from her, was also high art. I was dumbfounded. I have sometimes thought that I might be good as a TV preacher. Now I’m thinking of a second career in bullshit art!
