The Less Art Kids Get, the More it Shows

[jojofries]

It is vitally important that your children be exposed to art, but it is not likely that they will seek it out for themselves. That is why I have created a new program that will make art appreciation fun for kids without letting them know that they actually are appreciating art, which, as your kids will tell you, "just ain't dope or funky fresh,

I got this from the PAAAA (Parents Against Art Appreciation Addiction) website:

The doorbell rang, and without looking out the window I knew who it was. I got up from the football game and opened the door. There was Johnny... my Johnny... strung out, wet, stinking like a museum cafe. All he had on was a faded MOMA tee shirt and a pair of Keith Haring balloon pants. I asked him what he wanted. He said "Just one more Van Hals, dad, just let me look at the big book with the Van Hals and the Van Der Meer." I told him that I loved him but I couldn't do that. Then I asked him what he did with the money from the silver tea service. He said, "I saw both the El Greco and the Philip Guston show." I said "You ripped out your mother's heart for Philip Guston?" He couldn't even respond. I closed the door. It broke my heart, but I closed the door. I looked out the window a little while later and he was walking down the street drawing minotaurs in the sky. That was the last time I saw him. I hope he's better now."

Look, it's either black tar heroin or modern art, which would you prefer? Personally, I would much rather my child return again and again, powerlessly, to gaze upon the bold colorfields of Rothko than wind up in the Nation's crackhouses that so inevitably await him otherwise. Anyhow, my child will be here in D.C. where all the museums are free.

Incidentally, you should post that response to your own journal, it is far too good to be relegated to my comments page where it will be seen by no one.

Dude, your journal is where all the intellectuals hang out. My comment was audience specific. I smoke a different brand of cigarette when I come over here.

Your post had a Baldwin-y flavor to it. Unfortunately, it was Stephen Baldwin. Now I am retarded and it's all your fault. Curse you!

Your wit is second to none, your journal is a paragon of ingenious humor, blah blah blah...
