“The museum is full of interesting things. All kinds of paintings are there. And then paintings too thick to put in a frame, that they call sculpture. And then there are spectators. with their scorecards, rooting for culture. And spectators of the spectators, looking for love's introduction. And art students taking notes. And old women trying to remember the past. And old men with too much to forget. And tourists, thinking that a museum represents a city. And loafers so poor, they study their soberness here.” ThinkingMenTryingKindArtPastRememberCultureForgetInterestingPoorCitiesStudyToo MuchStudentsPaintingNotesAll KindsOld ManMuseumsThickSculptureSpectatorsIntroductionInteresting ThingsTouristsOld WomanLooking For LoveRemembering The PastLoafersArt Students Author:Marvin L.
