It’s the art critics that are pretentious. walk through your local art museum alone with some classical music on and you’re gonna have a fantastic time. especially modern art, actually looking at it and reading what the artist has to say about it has endeared me more to it than any art snobs long winded explanation of why it’s so beautiful’
