My city has a medium size art gallery. Every couple of years, the curators will hold their nose and run an exhibit by "dead white males": figurative painters like Rembrandt. The gallery becomes packed with people. Afterward the curators go back to their usual fare of "Iranian-American textile artists" or whatever; the gallery sees no visitors for months.

Bleeding money, the gallery recently laid off half their staff.

It's almost as if the curators would rather lose their jobs than exhibit art that the public enjoys.

Rembrandt is easy enough to see on my phone. I get it.
