Museum in St. Augustine
Written by Teresita Blanco (The Artsy Sister)
While walking through the city, I saw this cool looking Museum or art gallery. I wanted to go inside and see the paintings, but we had to keep moving. The photo was taken close to sunset. This shows in the odd reflection in the window. Upon closer examination it seems like an old man is being held by gunpoint or something. He is cowering in front of that strange women.
He could also be exclaiming at the sight of the bizarre looking fish. The photo is up to interpretation. I am not one to look through my old work a lot. I just take the photo and it sits in cold storage till I find a use for them. In this case, it is to have something artsy to talk about. Art Galleries as a whole are always a point of contention. People usually gear to a store with a reputation.
However, there is no way of truly knowing if you are getting a genuine artwork. There have been plenty of cases of falsifications. The most famous of the lot was the hoax Hitler Diaries. Some douche sold fake diaries of Hitler. There was also the fake Vermeer paintings and a Picasso. Too the best place to buy counterfeits is Ebay. Lots of fake works get sold there.
