No, You Couldn't Have Made That
"I could have made that," is a common refrain overheard or expressed in contemporary art museums around the world. This short sentence expresses a lot at once: disbelief as to what counts as art in the museum, as well as disdain for it. Humor is there, but also clear disparaging of the work of the artists. It's also meant to make us feel better about ourselves, that we are actually accomplishing meaningful things in our lives compared to someone who just throws some blue paint on a canvas and calls it a day.
