The Met...

 I TOOK MORE PHOTOS AT THE Met than I probably should've. I'll just say, art in recent years is complete trash in comparison to art from the past. The sculpting game, the painting game...what I see being passed off as the finest of art at museums is shameful. Take a look at the last photo above; see the messiness? Now look at the photo above it. Sargent was an absolute master at his craft. Take a look at the wild and messy brush strokes of the little girl's dress...and then at the woman and her child...pure brilliance. Now look at the work by Ellsworth Kelly below. When people say, "I could've done that," and a smug director says, "but you didn't," um...yes, we did. We all did. We did that in the third grade. You know what we were told? We were told that we needed to get better and improve. Some artists never did and they're the ones who made it into the Met, or the VMFA.
