Let's ENCOURAGE THE museum goers to put on a kimono that was available on site and to take selfies in front of La Japonaise.
this is such a classic symptom of the way our society experiences art right now. Oh, we have this famous old painting, why don't you engage with it by taking a selfie in this freely available kimono
this kimono exhibit was really about authority around culture. Who gets to determine whether this is a case of cultural appropriation as the protestors believed, or a case of cultural appreciation as the counter protestors argued?
'Oh I am just channeling my inner Camille Monet...' Cringe
And so you have this complete divorcing of context, from the original painting
