you know how when you go to an exhibition and u hear 2 pple discussing a painting!!!
it gets on my nerve!!
and the way they talk about it,
first, they always refer to something also artistic because it 'reminds' them of a certain artist or painting or a 'mouvement artistique':" ah oui ca me rappelle l'etude de draperie pour une femme assise, de trois quarts vers la gauche de louis joseph le lorrain.
and they start using sophisticated words and the other person is like:"ouii ouiii en effet" with this fake kind of voice and then they both laugh: beh beh beh

arghhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
i feel like taking the painting and breaking it on their heads like in cartoon
And also everyone is dressed up in exhibitions and women have these shiny earings%$%*^(O
u know like typical occidental 'nisa2 el moujtama3'
what's that all about???

i feel a lot of pple go to see art exhibitions just so that they would feel intelligent
i know that sounds a typical lebanese thing but in lebanon, pple would go so that other pple see them
but here, since it's very rare to accidently bump into someone you know on the street or in events, pple would go for their own ego then talk about it in front of their friends
of course not everyone's like this but at least i feel there's something fake when it comes to some pple getting interested in art
i mean there's still a cliche about it: if u have some 'culture artistique' and u slip the name of an artist in a conversation it will always impress but u know what?
i'm not falling for that!

art is overrated this is why paintings are so expensive
design is different
at first design was supposed to be popular art ie mixing aesthetics with everyday products
but since designers feel that they're olala very important people too (like artists),
they started to have their 'caprices' and therefore design is untill today expensive

zee is no good.
