Giving "plop art" a whole new name

|

From Newsday's website:

Paintings of President Bush and ex-President Clinton, accompanied by alarming messages, mysteriously appeared last week on the walls of two major city museums and reportedly at two other museums, in Philadelphia and Washington.

Harold Holzer, a spokesman for the Metropolitan Museum of Art, said Wednesday that a cartoon-type painting of Bush against a background of shredded dollar bills was found hanging Saturday on the wall near an exit in the museum's Modern Art galleries.

"The Metropolitan is a repository for the greatest works of human creativity over the last 5,000 years," Holzer said. "It is not a bulletin board. For us it is clearly an unwelcome demonstration of self-aggrandizement."

There was also a label: the media used were "acrylic, legal tender and the artist's semen." Ewwww.

As my family says, "It's art."
