True Art or Fake

If you are struggling with whether The Gates is true art, I recommend the following test sent to me by Dave Jilk.  I got a 75% – which means I’m merely a pretty good guesser.

    My wife Kim – an art major and sculptor – got 50%. As for me – artistically illiterate – I got 92%.

    She had two explanations for this:

    1) I am better at tests
    2) She was offended by the idea that author’s art “means nothing” and so gave him a lot of lattitude

    I think the test is rigged. I got a 75% too and I haven’t thought about abstract art since art appreciation in college…
