I stopped by the
Cincinnati Art Museum this afternoon to see the "Surrealism and Beyond" exhibition before it closes this weekend- surrealism (and Dada) are such a love-it-or-hate-it sort of thing, and I generally fall into the "love" camp. (I wasn't 100% thrilled by this particular exhibition, but that's neither here nor there, and besides, I don't really have the art history knowledge to share any really informed opinion about the structure and support for this particular show.)
I overheard a bunch of high school girls getting really
angry about Duchamp's "Fountain", which pleased me completely. I did fear that they were going to come to blows in the gallery, though.
Sadly, no Schiaparelli/Dalí hats were included in the exhibition. Perhaps the CAM knew that I'd be tempted to try it on if it were on display.

Duchamp's Fountain? Amazing.
So very jealous. One of the best art exhibits I ever saw was at the MOMA. It was a retrospective on European modernist-post modernist art.
