Any time an art museum needs to raise cash,
-
What sort of exhibition do they put on?
-
A blockbuster exhibition of impressionist painting.
-
That's what brings everybody in.
-
It is the locus, somehow, of what art is supposed to be.
-
Everybody loves these impressionist exhibitions
-
whether it's boston, New york, chicago,
-
wherever it might be.
-
So we have those artists.
-
We also have the poets--though interestingly enough
-
They're not called so much impressionist poets.
