Recent Acquistion: Flying Forks

For months, the muffled sounds of heated discussion, intense arguing, and occasional furniture tossing emanted from the locked office and rocked the MOBA Ivory Tower; but the white smoke pouring from the chimney indicates that the judges have agreed upon a winner of the Ninth Guest Interpretator Challenge. He is Joel Srebnick of Newport News VA, the latest Official MOBA Guest Interpretator. In a field of hundreds of entries, Joel's was imaginative, clearly written, unique, and (very importantly) short. He interpretated this painting
Flap
Norman Wallace
16"x20", oil on canvas
Purchased at a Boston thrift store, September, 2009
A young boy ponders the flapping wings of a distant bird, shortly after the impact of a flapjack on the side of his head. The delicacy of the bird’s flight is a subtle counterpoint to the delicacy of the pat of butter still embedded in the hitherto airborne breakfast item.
In addition to the honor of being named Official MOBA Guest Interpretator, Mr Srebnick has won a copy of the book "Museum of Bad Art: Masterworks".
Congratulations Mr Srebrick and thank you for your support.
