That’s Julie and Ellen in the blue sweaters. We spent a lot of time with this picture. The title is Rebus and here’s a link to examples of Rebus puzzles. So of course we had to puzzle over the meaning of every little thing.
We also discussed two of the main genres of Modern Art, the first being the ‘But Is It Art?’ school and the second being those works that fall into the category of ‘What Was He Thinking?’.
It is an undisputed fact that MOMA has a very very fine collection of art largely free of the above. And the new space is bigger and it’s not like anything is particularly wrong with it but I thought the space was perfect the old way so it’ll take a few more times to get back the total affection I had for the way it was before.
