NEW YORK—Shaking his head in disbelief at what passes for art these days, museum visitor Francis Bach was reportedly heard muttering “Well, I could do that” to himself while viewing a Metropolitan Museum of Art security guard on his lunch break. “This doesn’t really seem all that impressive,” said the 46-year-old, noting the mayonnaise clearly visible all over the edges of the bread on the guard’s “haphazard, makeshift” sandwich, which was accompanied by a bruised banana and a diet Coke and clearly thrown together at the last minute. “Maybe I just don’t get it? But to be honest, I don’t think there’s anything to get. Ham and cheese on wheat bread seems like the most obvious thing in the world. My second-grader could come up with something better than that. I suppose it might be a comment on sandwiches or the food industry, but even so, it’s not like that took a lot of skill or vision to pull off.” Bach later changed his mind and expressed sheer wonder and amazement after getting really close to the seated guard.

Does a cognizant relationship need to exist between the artwork and the artist? The experience happens in the observer's head. Hence the observers are the true artists. Song-writers never intend for their songs to mean what they do to the listener. Experience is subjective.

Sure everyone thinks they can do anything, but 'Security Guard On Lunch Break' is a landmark achievement in pseudo-absurdist quasi-surrealist post-ironic neo-neverwas social commentary on the economic disparity between art patrons and those who work to make art exhibits possible.

Just goes to show you; even sandwich art is subjective.

Plus you can see great art like this everyday; and listen to people explain to each other what it really means.
