If you think Vincent Van Gogh painted the Mona Lisa it’s cool. You can be on this page or in a museum or at the library reading about art or whatever else.
Everyone has a place in art learning and you don’t have to be a connoisseur to start. Start with what you have and yourself and go on from there.
Seriously. Pardon my French but this kind of elitist and exclusive bs that makes u feel like u have to know everything before even trying to engage with the material, and that makes u feel like there is only one type of good opinion has kept me from engaging with culture so long.
Also to art students & art history students: it’s fine if you don’t know x and y that are super cool/famous/canonic whatever. You don’t have to feel bad or fake it or try and make excuses as to why you don’t know. Just say it. You’re still good & know shit & have shit to say!
Honestly I started answering simply “no” when asked about stuff I didn’t know in 3rd yr of uni and ppl were legit shocked? I’m not gonna collect for the sake of it or lie & try to diminish myself in convo bc I don’t have the “correct” references. Guess what. Still smart.
(Why yes, this thread IS a response to this bullshit elitist Mubi poster. This marketing strategy is a terrible way to expand your audience, and just makes you look pretentious imo.)
