qos. . . but I liked this piece best!
And yes, it's at least half again as tall as I am. . .
I failed to note the title or artist name, but![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
athenian_abroad said that it should be called "Urban Nightmare."
Actually, this is a good reminder of the big insight I had at the museum. There were a lot of what I would consider highly unusual pieces there -- not even counting the Picasso's. And yet it was all considered not just "art" but worthy of display in a metropolitan art museum.
It made me stop and re-think just how "weird" and therefore "unacceptable to the general public" many of my own ideas are. The breadth of possibility for acceptance is much wider than I usually give credit for. Part of me is still stuck, psychologically, in the mill town where I grew up.
