 CHAPTER 10
 “Bad” Art
 By Marella Dagan
 1 Preview Questions
• Have you visited any art museums? 
 Which ones?
• What is good art, and what is bad art?
 3 At first I got upset. I had wanted the MOMA. But 
then I laughed and followed the signs to a small room 
in the basement. What I found was amazing. The 
walls were crowded with bright, unusual paintings by 
artists I wasn’t acquainted with. For example, Lucy 
in the Field with Flowers shows a grey-haired woman 
sitting in a field of white flowers with a yellow sun in 
the sky. It wasn’t so bad, I thought. In fact, it could 
be shown in a “real” museum. “That one was found
in the trash,” a man behind me said. I turned around, 
surprised. “We think it was done in the early 1970s,” 
he said. “But the artist hasn’t been identified.”
