theculturewarrior Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 Mea MAXIMA Culpa for indicating the contrary. I went to the Houston Museum of Fine Arts. There was some BEAUTIFUL traditional American art. I even liked some of the modern stuff.
Proud2BCatholic139 Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 Cool! When I was in Paris, I was going to go to the Lourve, but I decided not too... Now I regret it.
Sojourner Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 I own several pieces of American art, most of it made in Indianapolis, and I LOVE it!
photosynthesis Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 I think it would be a sweeping generalization to say that you love or hate ALL American art. There are so many styles, traditions and periods! As far as American art goes, I love Native American pottery, Southwestern Art (especially Georgia O'Keefe), and some ultramodern stuff. Has anyone here been to the Quilt Museum in Boston? If you're ever in the neighborhood, they have beautiful old quilts!
StColette Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 I own some Native American art that's about it.

photosynthesis Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 I think there needs to be a line drawn somewhere. There's a gallery at my college that shows local artists, and one of the pieces consisted of two 20-ounce bottles of Coca-Cola, juxtaposed next to a Fleet enema. If that's art, then I'm Elizabeth Taylor.

theculturewarrior Posted October 21, 2005 Author Posted October 21, 2005 Glad somebody caught that. I was hoping it would be Sojourner though.

photosynthesis Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 Sojourner is a reporter, therefore she is the objective one. ...or not. :
