ART LIMERICKS        

My shapeless gray blob spins around.

I'll breathe life into cold sticky ground!

    Its fate means a lot for me - 

    Clay be a pot for me!

Pottery's pretty profound.   [David "Goldie" Goldberg shared his limerick]

There once was a sculptor named Phidias

Whose manners in art were invidious

He carved Aphrodite

Without any nightie

 Which startled the ultra fastidious.

When Titian was mixing rose madder

His model climbed up a ladder

      Her position to Titian

      Suggested coition

So he climbed up the ladder and had’er.

There's a combative artist named Whistler

Who is, like his hog hairs, a bristler.

      A tube of white lead

      And a punch on the head

Offered varied attractions to Whistler.  [Dante Gabriel Rossetti]

As the sun colors flowers, so does art color life.
