The Museum of Bad Art or MOBA recently found a new home in Boston, and it's become a destination for art lovers far and wide
DORCHESTER, Mass. — From a portrait of Jackie Kennedy looking into the eyes of George Washington to a painting of a Queen proudly displaying what appears to be a chocolate chip cookie, there are plenty of reasons why Louise Reilly Sacco says the art in the museum she oversees has missed the mark.As the Permanent Acting Interim Director of the Museum of Bad Art, also known as MOBA, Sacco hardly ever uses the word bad.
"Sometimes the concept was beyond their skills. Other times, they didn’t know which end of the paintbrush to grab but their heart and soul were in it," Sacco noted. A painting of President John F. Kennedy Jr. titled"President Kennedy Eating Ice Cream" reads, “By eliminating the background information and focusing on the president's face, the artist may have created the most repugnant image of one of the most photogenic political leaders the world has ever known.”
