Grotesque

The Art Gallery is very close to the Federation Square, just across the Yarra. Here we entered in full 'enthu' to get a taste of art. There were some real masterpieces. Notably much of the European art centred around Christ. Works on canvas, paper, glass, plate. There were old books too. A museum personnel pointed out that the script was Archaic French and had been translated from Latin. But it was still Latin to me.

I was extremely impressed by some of sketches. The fineness of the lines in some of the paintings were unimaginable. There was a small Japanese and Indian section as well.



It was okay for one hour, but then we started getting bored. However, in the end we had some comic relief in the modern art section, much to the annoyance of the curators. It was ridiculous and for art lovers who might like to explain these pieces of bull shit, I too have a 3rd year degree in Fine arts, and I must say it is an insult to the awesome pieces of work in the other sections.



Each of these stuff had one page of detailed information and analysis. The arists (if they can be called one) must have been laughing their hearts out seeing others trying to interpret these things.
