Renoir, Beethoven and the Power of Publicity

Posted By Cliff Tuttle | October 3, 2015

No. 1,223

Some guy named Geller (no, not Yuri) has been complaining about the Renoir exhibit at the Boston Museum of Fine Art.  He has an Instagram site called “Renoir Sucks at Painting”  in which he is calling on Bostonians to join him in a picket line protesting the exhibition.  That ought to bring out record crowds, just to see what is so bad about the Renoir paintings on display.

What an excellent idea!   We need to adopt this approach in Pittsburgh, too.  For example, why isn’t someone protesting the emasculation of Beethoven by the Pittsburgh Symphony next week?  Of course we’ll have to call the TV News people.  We love Beethoven and we don’t want to hear it mashed up with anything.  And by the way, who is Coldplay?
