Homer The Artist

The Simpsons is the greatest TV show in exsistence. It is increadibly complex and silly at the same time and, is entertaining for all.
I liked how the article we read for this week compaired Homer to real artists such as Jasper Johns. The article really broke down the stereotypes of the moden artist personality type, which in a way mirrored the personality of Homer Simpson.
The "Mom and Pop Art" episode really analyzed the way art is conciebed by the differnt groups of the public. Is it outsider? But then outsider art becomes popular and inturn becomes insider. What is art and when does something meet that critera?
It's all very silly but was the perfect subject for an episode of The Simpsons.
As a side note I've observed many, many episodes of The Simpson's and every time you see a clock it always seems to be 4:20. Isn't that strange?

Yeah totally. Also most things were "Est. 1989," when the show was first created. It's the little details that really make the show!

I did notice the clock's time until you point it out.
Personally, I think in today's world something begins to be considered as art when a certain amount of people approve it. And many things that weren't considered as art before are now being called art.
