Two gentlemen
were looking at masterpiece paintings
in a famous museum.
One criticized every picture.
He judged them quickly.
"That one's OK. That sucks.
Next!"
Finally, the guard,
who took the job to be around great art,
couldn't take it anymore.
"Sir,
these paintings are understood to be great
by those of education or native wisdom,
and have been for centuries.
THEY are not on trial here; YOU are."
The "Gentlemen" decided to go to a movie instead.
Let us be quicker to enjoy what's right
and less trigger-happy
to criticize.
ALOHA, cloudia

Happy Easter m'dear. x
But I don't care for Pollock. I suppose I am found guilty even though I have hung his work many times.
Better to be crazy than hazy.
the worst enemy of creativity is mental exhaustion.
Another good one!!!
I love Sylvia Plath's quote. So appropriate.
Happy Easter.
That's wise advice indeed. I used to cringe whenever I went to the museum for precisely the same reason. Listening to the supposed "experts" critique the works as if they were the ultimate arbiters of artistic integrity...made my stomach queasy.
It's a lesson I try to teach our kids, as nothing is more disturbing than watching people "turn" in this way.
Hope you're having a lovely Shabbat!
how fresh to look,
you rock!

Aloha Friend
Respect for this guard. Love the Bukowski quote very much. Please have you all a blessed Easter Sunday.
never criticize in public.
Hello my friend, happy Sunday!
"Tell your friend,
I say who you are.."
It's a Tukish saying..
Best wishes..
I like the guard's approach. The museum isn't a test either way. It requires an openness to expression. All communications are valid.
Great advice. Happy Easter, Coudia!
So great to see YOU today!
Thanks for the award, really. :)
Love how you worded the Easter news.
Enjoying the video too.
I must be having a great life - I go crazy all the time.
good advice
Thank YOU!!!
