The Museum Of Bad Art: A Monument To Artistic Failure

Take the OG piece in the collection, Lucy in the Field with Flowers, for example. This piece is to the Museum of Bad Art as the Mona Lisa is to the Louvre, just, y’know, a bad version. You could spend hours analyzing Lucy, and the painting gets worse each second you stare. She is sitting in a chair, but why does the chair not have legs? Why does her arm look like that? Why was this even made?

In this way, MOBA functions as a sort of museum for the rest of us, outsiders to the art world. If you’re not an art person, it can get annoying to hear people go on and on about how great a painting is when it honestly just looks bad. MOBA encourages viewers to mock each piece. It’s part of the point.
