Mom and Pop Art

So I was absent for the PSSAs, which were SUPER fun :(. But anyhoo, I was able to look up some small clips from the simpsons episode and found quite a few cliches of artists. For one, Homer was told by astrid that essentially anger is the greatest muse, a nod to the notion of a tortured genius.The also mentioned European and Cultural influences, often associated with artwork. Astrid is a kind of hippy gallery owner, a direct picture of the cliched artist.

I also saw Homer trying to build a BBQ, but in my opinion, this is a form of indirect art, because BBQ require design and planning to become possible. Instead of avoiding art, like he originally intended, he became face to face with it.
