Art Appreciation

The man I live with has for years been bored to tears by my dragging him to various art events. He does in fact have a good eye, so of course only 10% of the exhibits (museum and otherwise) I have dragged him to were in any way enjoyable. I have noticed a trend in his art criticism, which I have now chosen to illustrate in hopes it may better assist those who enjoy art outings, but are perhaps uncertain of how to put it into words. Maybe it is my man's fancy European schooling or his career as a writer, but I find his repeated musings to be most eloquent and to the point, don't you?
