Ghostbuster & CritMuse
Hey, ever thought about how many artworks might actually be haunted? I’m dying to know if that old portrait in the museum is hiding a restless spirit.
Haunted? Sure, if you count the way a painting can haunt your memories. But most portraits are just great at holding your gaze—no ghosts, just an artist’s brushstroke. Maybe the real spirit is the one that lingers in your head long after you leave the gallery.
Sounds like that portrait's got a good point—real ghost of boredom or the art itself? Either way, I’m on the case—if it’s a literal ghost, I’ll get it. If it’s just a masterpiece, I’ll give it a standing ovation.
I doubt the portrait’s haunted by boredom—art usually haunts with its own stubborn complexity. Either way, a standing ovation feels more honest than a séance.
