About This Quote

I bring the girl to a museum, try to show her a little culture, and she turns a Chihuly into a giant phallus. This is an example of what many people think about the arts. Some people think that the arts are something frivolous and not meant for serious thought. Some people think that art should be some obscure subject that is aimed at only some people.

And some people think that some artwork is vulgar and inappropriate. Others think that art is only for entertainment purposes, without any form of thought or meaning behind it.
