Art History is a stubborn mother, who is continually proved wrong over and over again, but somehow still manages to get around this world better than her sons & daughter who recieve all the attention. Learning only from her children she is always a step behind the curve it seems, a baby-boomer just learning to txt message. She teaches her children the aesthic and moral boundaries in which she thinks they are most likely to find happiness. In this act, whether conscious of it or not, she projects upon her children a propensity to follow closely and extend even further the all-too beaten path Art Histroy has blazed.
Having too much pride to admit defeat to her children, Art History fall back on agruements she knows she can win regardless of their relevancy to the issue at hand. Or that old hag Art History will just stand there silent and stern, starring her offspring in the eye. But give her a day or two and she will have figured out a way to manipulating and bend your ideas enough until they somehow completely in accordance with all her previous ideas and a simple continuation of her narrative. But sometimes the generation gap is to wide and vulnurable.
Fuck you Mom!!! You said we could only art Jesus. YOU WERE WRONG! You said art was about aesthetics. YOU WERE WRONG! You said only time can tell. YOU WERE WRONG! Sure these worked for you at some point in your life but let me do my thang. Sometimes parents just dont understand.
