<p>[QUOTE="Bev aka thelmasstuff, post: 134229, member: 23"]I just think the world of high end art is filled with precious people who could sell coal in Newcastle. Once an artist is "discovered" and his work is pumped up, the masses follow. We were in a museum in San Diego some years ago and walked into a room that had four fluorescent lightbulbs, one on each wall. My husband said it must be under construction and the docent said, no, that was the exhibit. That artist was paid thousands of dollars to hang up four lightbulbs. The only "emotion" I had was disgust. To me, it's the Emporer's new clothes. As Barnum said, there's one born every minute.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
