Has anybody pulled your coat lately about the virtues of the Internet? You should really check it out. It used to be that all you needed for a respectable art education was a museum in driving distance and a library card. These days you could scrap together the outline of your very own art dissertation from, gulp, Wikipedia.
But rather than defend that profoundly rash statement, let’s get on with this week’s tour. I roamed the galleries of the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis for a couple of hours and picked four works of art. For each artist, I dug through what could be found only on Google and Wikipedia and distilled that information to its most quirky essence.
Call me Professor Philistine if you must, but when it’s all over don’t tell me you didn’t have a good time.
