I haven’t been to a museum or art gallery for some time. A long time ago, I used to spend a lot of time visiting them, especially during weekdays and those that did not charge you anything for entrance. Free entrance and weekday visits often mean you can spend a lot of undisturbed time with the art pieces you like.
Being
a mediocre art appreciator, I am always attached to a limited number of European
artists whose works are often “commercialized.” Most of them are not
contemporary but thrived in the modern art age. For those modern and
contemporary local, Chinese or Oriental artists, I owe them an apology
for being apathetic to their hard work. Very often, when there are traces of
resemblance to some “great” artists in their works, I judge them as an
imitation, or worse, a copy. I must admit I cannot help seeking out those
traces whenever I notice the artists’ names are likely to be oriental. This is indeed
my problem.
