So remember when I wrote a
long defense of
Work of Art? Heh, yeah, sorry about that. It turns out that the finale last night wasn't very good. (Spoiler on who won
here.) The producers, in a departure from the previous episodes, seemed to want us to take the contestants very seriously as artists. As I said before, what worked for me about
Work of Art had more to do with the fact that it was great television than it did with the quality of the art produced on the show. Since I took it that way, I found the finale disappointing. Also is it just me or was that
painting of the taxidermied dead twin deer fetuses creepy or what?
