Went to the Titian exhibit on Saturday night at one of the fancy art museums.
I tried my hardest, but I just could not get into it. What a snooze-fest. Man, those were bad and boring paintings.
Made me think that there can only be one reason for why Titian is considered a master. I bet that, if you look back at the art history books up through the mid-70s, the guy was never mentioned. I'm sure it was only after Dan Aykroyd and the SNL crew immortalized Titian that he was rescued from obscurity and became an "art classic."
[.....insert here of Aykroyd's classic video -- but it's not available on-line -- except maybe from an SNL/NBC site that is only available from the US.......]
