My renaissance husband

What do you think? Is this art?

 


What if I told you a certain mid-range furniture retailer sells something similar for 300 bucks?

Would it be art then, or just a cheap knock-off of a mass-produced design element?

 


What if I told you this was a husband's attempt at turning a dog-eared page in one of his wife's catalogs into an eye-catching but affordable bit of decor for the empty walls of a new livingroom?

 


Would it be art then, or just a low-budget romantic gesture?

Anyway, I think I can appreciate these four panels of mod-podge and plywood for whatever they might be -- art or not.

They are rugged but refined, kind of like the artsy-type husband who made them.
