No, Jean, you are Not "Strange" at all!!
I disgraced myself in the National Gallery in Canberra a couple of years ago! When we walked in and wandered around - it was all dreadful Modern Art (and I Do meand dreadful). Blue Poles is the best of it!! (Enough said!!)
So, I, in my usual Loud voice, said "Where are the Proper pictures?" Upon which a security guard walked over, trying hard not to laugh, and suggested I might find other pictures more to my taste upstairs! He was so polite, - and Yes, at the top of the staircase was a portrait of Abel Tasman and his wife, and child/children - an oil painting, gone dark with age, but at least it was a "Proper" painting!! And more decent paintings were in that gallery! - Thank Goodness!!
I seem to remember my DD writing in their Visitor's book , many years ago, that she felt overcharged to see the collection - and as a Student she got in for free!!! So there are 3 of us (DH, too) who are Not into modern art at all!!
