Art news - Anti-Renior Protest

A mock demonstration was held outside the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston to protest the art of  Pierre-Auguste Renoir which is currently being displayed.  Led by Max Geller, who created the Instagram account Renoir Sucks at Painting, the protesters demanded that Renoir's art be taken down and replaced by that of other 'better' artists.  While the protest is only semi-serious, and the style over substance reasoning behind Geller's disdain falls a little flat, the demonstration does raise awareness on the authority of museum institutions to dictate what is good art, as well as the need for personal love it or hate it passion to really appreciate and form a relationship with art.
