Being the older student I am, I took Intro to Art. I had really good Instructor, she noticed my expression while viewing slides of Christo's works. I had this reputation of saying what I thought and she asked me what I thought.
" You mean to tell me he gets paid for doing that? He actually has groupies ? You young folks missed out - in my day the gals were burning bras and putting flourensent paint on themselves and making "art" against the walls. We didn't call it Art...we called it having a good time".
Had to explain "groupies" , "black lights" , and ...well it really sucks to be older than the instructor at times.
At least Pollack showed some passion and enthusiasm. I prefer Picasso, his pen and inks intrigue me. Ronin's "Gates of Hell" - So much to this one work alone. Monet at least captured differnet settings of the same work.
Christo reminds me of growing up and everyone used Clotheslines - we didn't have dryers. Maybe Christo has a fetish for clothelines...
