Ok, you got me. You proved I'm not an art connoisseur: I cannot tell my a*s from a hole in the ground, if you pardon my French ;-)
How about this one: If econ profs start teaching a lesson or two about art, maybe I should start teaching economics. After all: If art is an improvement over economics, how hard can economics be?
Comparative advantage? Doesn't seem to be a very important concept
I only missed one but that's because I love pugs and the pug fabric was, well, pictures of pugs. That's art I tells ya!
ReplyDeleteI got most of them wrong. One of the ones I got right was the pug fabric (not art)
ReplyDeleteI got most of them "wrong," too.
ReplyDeleteJust because a 4-year-old paints something, it doesn't mean it's not art. Just because an "artist" paints something, it doesn't mean it's art.
In college, I took a few art history courses and thus learned that most modern "art" isn't. Not that that's what the professor said, but . . .
Mark,

;-) Wonkish, as Paul would say!
Perhaps it only means that certain "schools of art" are quite juvenile.
ReplyDeleteI got 5 right out of ten. Sort of like calling heads or tails on a coin flip.
ReplyDeleteIn defense of my poor score, I must say Stossel has found a group of true 4 year old prodigies.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the child prodigy theory. Some of those pieces by the kids sure look like art to me. I draw the line at trained elephants though.
