Sure, you've heard of MOMA...

....the famous Museum of Modern Art in New York City. But have you heard of its sister museum, MOBA , in Boston, Mass? I am truly surprised Osler did not stop there on his recent trip.

MOBA is the Museum of Bad Art.

http://www.museumofbadart.org


Their Slogan is: "MOBA. Art Too Bad to be Ignored."


I have not been lucky enough to visit, but fortunately for me , and for you, they have a website that displays many of their works:


"Circus of Despair"
You know, I am no art critic, but I feel the despair here.


This is called, simply: Eileen's Uncle Phil
Obviously 'Uncle Phil' is Eileen's euphemism for "the everyman." Just brilliant



This one is called Ronan the Pug
I can just see Ronan's energy



This is entitled: Lady in the Field with Flowers
She may be related to Eileen... or Uncle Phil..




Dog
About this Art In America said: "A remarkable fusion of ski resort and wolf puppy -- stoical in his yellow-eyed silence, frozen beneath the ice-capped peak, Dog eloquently challenges the viewer to rexamine old concepts of landscape."
I could not agree more...
I am not sure if this is a cat or a dog but he sure is a happy little fellow!
