...Many moons ago I worked in a small second hand book and record shop and had the job of looking after the print/poster room . I sold many a Van Gogh print and sort of warmed to them. However after visiting the Van Gogh museum recently in Amsterdam and seeing the stuff for real, I was wholly unimpressed, pretty much an amateur dauber, *dull* and boring. I felt really deflated. I wanted to believe that what I'm told is great art - is great art, but I couldn't.
Anyone else just been disappointed by stuff that you are told/indoctrinated to believe is supposed to make your soul sing, but if it were in your own house you'd chuck it out on bin day?
I guess I don't like being told what I should think, and with art it's assumed that we tow the line and are told what we should think, hmm just feels uncomfortable.
