A Concise
History of Western Art According to Lear
by Tiffany H.
White
1
Classic
The Vatican were insisting
Michelangelo must paint the Sistine
Without any real hope
He said to the Pope
That whitewash would make it look
pristine
2
Modern
Parisian artist Manet
Painted in a radical way
His use of expression
Made quite an impression
And a phenomenal sum of money
3
Pop
Warhol was known to proclaim
The ephemeral nature of fame
But the Marilyn diptych
Is subtly cryptic
And completely refutes his claim |
