Art Lovers..Part 2 discussion

I thought this art quote was interesting:

Gertrude Stein on modern art: "A picture may seem extraordinarily strange to you and after some time not only does it not seem strange but it is impossible to find what there was in it that was strange."

Indeed interesting Jimmy, but would you mind posting this in the main Artlovers group? We have more members there and so more will view your quote.

I like that quote and I find it true also in my own experience. Not for all paintings, more for Modern art. Sometimes at first I look at it and just don’t care for it. I think it’s boring, or looks like a child could do it, or whatever. But then the more I look at it, or the more I learn it’s history, the more I like and/or appreciate it and do wonder why I had my original thought.
True observations by Gertrude Stein.

And I agree with Dirk, please put it in the original Art Lovers group if you haven’t already (I haven’t seen it, maybe I missed it) so more people can read it.

Oops, I read this post before my other notifications and I just saw that you did post this quote in the other group. So please disregard my statement. I’m sorry, Jimmy! Thank you for doing that.
