**Went to Musée d’Orsay today…**
So, I decided to embark on a cultural adventure and visit the Musée d’Orsay today, armed with my best beret and a vague understanding of Impressionism. Walking in, I was absolutely mesmerized by the art—until I accidentally mistook a group of tourists for a modern art installation. I stared at them for a solid five minutes, appreciating their ‘abstract’ poses of exhaustion and confusion. I even nodded approvingly, like I was a seasoned critic!
The highlight was when one of them caught my eye and raised an eyebrow, clearly questioning my fashion choices more than the masterpieces on the walls. I quickly navigated away, mentally adding “confusing tourists with art” to my résumé. At least I can say I contributed to their experience—they probably thought, “Next time, let’s skip the museum and just watch people!”

Id like you to paint me a cat. A what? A cat. You do know what a cat is, right? You’ve seen a cat? Uh, yeah. Of course.

That painting should inspire some chat chat.

When you finally find the missing link between High Renaissance and I woke up like this
G
This is the kind of art criticism i come here for.Not the plaque,not the audio guide — just pure ,unfiltered ‘yep ,that’s a mood’
G
When you find the missing link between art and Picasso (or as Tom Wolfe described modern sculpture, “The Turd in the Plaza” art.)
H
When you realise that humanity has only been sober for the past 30 years.
F
LOL, this guy thinks we’re sober.

I once lived in a country where you couldn’t buy alcohol during the evenings or weekends so I was always stocking up on alcohol on Fridays after work. Now I can buy alcohol whenever I want so I barely drink any. 🤦 I wish weed and acid was legal though. I’ve read that it sometimes is in Switzerland. I think it’s legal in Portugal? I need to move to Portugal!
S
Artful representative of something being priced even “higher than a cat’s back”.
Y

G
Now I can’t unsee those random brown paint blobs.

Ah the horsey museum, where all the horse painting is are. I assume.
P
Horsey Museum: come for the funny cats, stay because despite being a grown-ass adult, you’re crying big boo-hoo tears because [ you’re where they shot that one scene from Doctor Who.](https://youtu.be/ubTJI_UphPk?si=mcw3y3YYuSgS0cFQ)

Also where the movie *Hugo* was shot, IIRC. The most memorable painting for me was some naked lady with blood flowing from her tits.
I
Ooo big stretch!
D
I love this painting. Don’t over-think it, it is intentionally whimsical, even though it was painted with great skill.
F
I would pay any amount for this art.
C

What about those painting of rectangular cows with smol heads? https://artuk.org/discover/stories/the-rectangular-cows-of-art-uk
J
Not just cows, I can confirm that most people look square and boxy with a small head here in the UK.

I recall an interview with an old journalist long ago, who got his start early after WWII in Scotland. In his endearing accent, he described working for a Scottish newspaper. They had a photo covering the local farm exhibition, of the prize-winning bull, looking like a prize bull. The old lady who owned the paper looked at the photo and exclaimed “that is a *rrrude* picture, fix it.” She wouldn’t listen to arguments that that is what bulls looked like from the side. So they did what she said. The bull looked fixed. As the journalist said, the upshot was the owner of the prize-winning bull sued the paper for making his prize bull look useless, and won.
S
Thanks for the laugh.
S
Ah, the famous “cat that doesn’t want to be picked up, being picked up by a ghost”
