When I think back along the timeline of human history, there is no doubt in my mind just where I would transplant to given the chance. Back in the golden days there were dandelion greens and they were in the soup. Today there are privet greens and they are in the medians. Back in the golden days there were hairy men with clubs. Today there are hairy men in clubs. Back then was wild! Today? Ok so today can still get pretty wild. But still. Give me stone age, baby!
Keeping in mind this viewpoint, I am critical of most things modern. After all, "modern" has brought us single-use razors, monoculture crops, and the Double Whopper with mayonnaise. But here, at the Museum of Modern Art in the center of New York City, our modern genius is on display. In a world of plastic water bottles and peeled carrots, two fine folks took a leap towards sustainability.... they didn't use paint. And now they are probably rich! Bravo?
Yes, I think I CAN be a famous painter - just need some masking tape and a blank canvas. Now where should I open my gallery?!
