The Best Art Critics
The Best Art Critics
I am an
art student and I paint a lot of pictures. Many people pretend that they
understand modern art. They always tell you what a picture is ‘about’. Of
course many pictures are not ‘about’ everything. They are just pretty patterns.
We like them in the same way that we like pretty curtain material. I think that
young children often appreciate modern pictures better than anyone else. They
notice more. My sister is only seven, but she always tells me whether my
pictures are good or not. She came into my room yesterday.
“What are you doing?” she asked.
“I’m hanging this picture on the
wall,” I answered. “It’s a new one. Do you like it?” She looked at it
critically for a moment. “It’s all right,” she said, “but isn’t it upside-down?”
I looked at it again. She was right! It was!
