Baby Loves Modern Art
Although it's very bad form to post my fourth "this is a good read" blog entry in a row, this is a good read.
It's the story (posted over a week ago) of an irate father of a three-year-old lover of modern art who wants to throttle a National Gallery docent when she says to a bunch of school kids, speaking of a Clyfford Still painting, "even if it doesn't look like it's about anything and it doesn't make any sense, you just have to bear with it sometimes."
I'll spoil it for you: the dad restrains himself. But I'll bet the docent staff has since gotten an earful. I sure hope so.
