ART INSIGHTS: Barns are beautiful

As a university student in the 1960s, all was about abstract art. Little was representational, and one would certainly not claim to paint barns. That would be admitting to “anti-art,” sub-seriousness or creativity, and a forbidden country coddling. Artists and critics may be the worst at bad-mouthing barns! I knew the pleasure of playing in my uncle’s dairy barn. Most people find these beefy structures alluring.
