From Monet to Monass


Both of my children have studied the masters: Vermeer, van Gogh, Monet, Picasso. So, after visiting the Young Masters Art Show, sponsored by NEISD, last night, they got into a deep discussion in the back seat about whether or not surrealism is a subcategory of realism. They decided to resolve it with a bet. $10 on the line, using my iPhone for their research tool. At one point, they were looking up Vermeer.

Boy Genius: This says Vermeer was a Baroque painter.

Twirl: That’s what you’re going to be if I win this bet. Ba-roke.

Later in the car….

Boy Genius: I know the definition of jackass. The personification of the behind of a mule named Jack.

Now, can somebody please explain how we got from Vermeer to butts? *sigh*
