Why when intellectuals and art critics go to see an art exhibition they are enjoying art, and if normal people go to see an art exhibition they are consuming entertainment?( So intellectuals and art critics say)

Wish list

this book:

In Wonderland: The Surrealist Adventures of Women Artists in Mexico and the United States

This volume features the work of 48 Mexican and U.S.-based women artists - Louise Bourgeois, Leonora Carrington, Frida Kahlo, Lee Miller, Kay Sage, Dorothea Tanning, and Remedios Varo are represented, along with lesser known or newly discovered practitioners, including Maya Deren, Helen Lundeberg, María Izquierdo, Jacqueline Lamba, and Janet Sobel. Their contributions to the surrealist movement span more than four decades and their work was both influential and radical in its own right.

Ayyyyy, an unmissable exhibition that I missed, it's a small world, but no so small.

at Los Angeles County Museum of Art
