SERIOUS ART
Today, the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Temporary Contemporary, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s new Robert O. Anderson Building are showing many of the world’s finest artists and greatest masterpieces of modern and contemporary art.
It seems unfortunate that Bob Kelemen and his buddy from New Jersey who profess “a very strong understanding and interest in the world of art” found these works neither “serious or noteworthy” (Calendar Letters, May 24).
A quote from Picasso seems appropriate: “The fact that for a long time Cubism has not been understood and that, even today, there are people who cannot see anything in it means nothing.
“I do not read English. An English book is a blank book to me. This does not mean that the English language does not exist. Why should I blame anyone but myself if I cannot understand what I know nothing about?”
In my opinion, it is unfortunate that Kelemen and his buddy are able to look--but unable to see.
