Butler Institute raising funds for bridge

[Towntalk]

Like I said, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. If we all had the same taste whether it is in music, or art, this would be a boring world.

I really don't mean to be so harsh about the artist garrot on Mahoning Avenue, but really, the artists there can't hold a candle to the masters in the Butler collection. Personally I own 6 prints that I acquired at the Butler. They are all signed limited editions.

towntalk the critics of your favorite masters used the same words that you use on the mahoning common artist.

[iwasthere]

And do what, put all those paintings in the courtyard too?

no, you can rotate the collections every yr within the gallery.

[Towntalk]

The photographic artisrt whose prints I own is a local lady. She had a lifetime history in photography.

I guess that thanks to my Mother and Father I have very definate views of art as well as music that may not be shared by others.

As it is even the masters had to start at the bottom before they reached the heights, but for every master there are hundreds of people who are unknown today.

That's why the masters are masters, and have their work exhibited in the Butler.  But that shouldn't belittle what local artists do.

Just because there are greats in every profession, doesn't mean that everyone else should just give up, because they are inferior.

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. It's a whole lot better than that pile of rubbish across from U Haul. It also blends in with YSU and YSU's art gallery. BTW, Butler Institute of American Art is world famous with some 20,000 works of art in its collection, and other world famous gallery's have borrowed paintings from it's collection such as:

Louvre – Paris
Metropolitan Museum of Art – New York
National Gallery of Art – Washington, DC

You can say that again.  It actually took me awhile to realize what you were talking about.

Remember, the new wing on the south side of the building is modern. My friend who works there said that it would have a lot of glass.

the new wing looks ugly. they should have kept the outside ctyd.
