Hehe, very on point. Perfect execution. Full marks!

There's an impressive modern art gallery in Tasmania, MOMA, which has tags on various pieces and you can select them to show "Art wank" (literally how they describe it) describes of the pieces 😆

Love it! Poncy art-reviewers! Just like book-reviewers! They view things through their navel!

PS: Will try fire extinguisher comment at next exhibition I attend.

Bravo! By the way, I miss the Sotheby's auction with your graphic report. Freedman, famous activist on the CRAP current, Canvas Renamed After Painting, bang our minds with bla, bla, bla... 10.000 £

Love this one Terry: I too believe that the vast majority of writing about art is complete hogwash. Very rarely does it add to my art appreciating experience. By that token, your piece succeeded spectacularly! 😉

I could not quite relate this one to your original story, Terry, but it is absolutely hilarious! The perfectly pompous, fatuous, supercilious, snooty language one sees in a gallery note. Who're they kidding? Thanks for a great start to my Sunday!

🤣 Thanks Sharron, glad it provided a chortle! I tried to touch on the original story but had to exercise a bit of poetic --sorry, artistic-- licence! 😆
