SAM Has Glass Art For You to Look At

Crap do we love art. In fact we love art so much that if you had tickets to see something incredibly amazingly good, but there was art that we were supposed to see that day, sorry dude, you'd be going alone.

So you can imagine how excited we were when we found out that Seattle has its own art museum. Someone must have also tipped off the PI because they compared the Seattle Art Museum to Portland's. The P-I seemed a little too impressed with what the Rose City has to offer. Note to the P-I, if you love PAM so much why you don't just ask to marry it?

But if Portland is so great, then how come SAM will be the first museum in the country to host a national tour of the work of Louis Comfort Tiffany, who created some of the most beautiful decorative art the world has ever seen. You see, art doesn't have to be paintings of fruit or Monet's backyard---it can also be a glass lamp or a vase. However, it can't be pornography; we know everyone will agree on that.

Tiffany fell from favor when pretentious European Modernism took America, literally, by storm in the early part of the twentieth century. Tiffany's work made a bit of a comeback in the 1960s, and European Modernism is still pretentious. For example, it's still referred to as modernism. Our grandfather is from the same time period as well as Europe, and trust us, "modern " is not a word we use to describe him. Tiffany's grandson currently lives in Fremont where he blows glass for money.

The exhibit starts tomorrow and runs though January 4.
