One day out of genuine curiosity I asked the
proprietor what the painting was about. "Oh," he said in a rather
snobbish, dismissive tone, "you'd have to go to art school to understand
that." Ever since, I have regarded "art" like this as pretentious $h1t.

Your loss. Just because the proprietor was a ****, doesn't mean that abstract
art is rubbish. Go to the Tate Modern and spend a while looking at the Rothko
Seagram Commission. Don't think or analyse, just look.

.. . . and feel, in a non tactile sense. The Pollocks are brilliant too.
