Thread Name: BS: Artsy or Fartsy?
Subject: RE: BS: Artsy or Fartsy?
There is a good arrangement on a street in Brussels, somewhere near the Grand Sablon if I remember rightly. They have the Museum of Ancient Art and the Mueseum of Modern Art side by side. It is a real eye opener to visit the two at the same time and try to decide which you like.

Me? Both! They all had their good and bad bits. As we have already said art is too subjective a domain. I find some of the old masters too realist and some of the moderns too interprative, but not all. There were exceptions in every category. My current favourite artist is Alan Lee btw but that may change tomorrow;-)

The prices are realy sometning else though...

American businesssmen snap up Van Goghs for the price of a hospital wing (Delamitri)

Is anything realy worth that?

Cheers
