I like to paint. I like art. I like modern art a lot. I even like odd conceptual modern art. But I am befuddled by the newly unveiled poster for the 2010 Spoleto Festival USA, slated to begin at the end of the month in Charleston. The world-renowned festival and world-renowned artist it commissioned have thrust something into the public domain that doesn’t seem worth the paper on which it is printed.
YUCK: Guess you could say that I didn’t like the new Spoleto poster. (See new column at LikeTheDew.com). Oh well, neither did many others. About the best thing that can be said for it is that it has got people talking about the Festival … and maybe that’s the point. But the poster is gross.
