In which a group of graying eternal amateurs discuss their passions, interests and obsessions, among them: movies, art, politics, evolutionary biology, taxes, writing, computers, these kids these days, and lousy educations.

 Modern Art 101

Friedrich --

Modern Art, in a very cute Flash nutshell, here.

Link thanks to Velvet Hammers, here.

Best,

Michael

Update on Thursday afternoon: The people sponsoring the animation seem to have taken down everything but a few screen captures. Nice while it lasted...

Whoa. Very Squirrel.

I want to go to the Rubens Bar, the Ingres Bar, and the Watteau Bar--pretty much in that order. Although I understand if you have a toleration for drinking rotgut and waking up face down in the sawdust, the Franz Hals bar has the best company.

Oh, is that where the joie de vivre in Hals' painting comes from? I shoulda guessed.
