Claude Monet v. Janelle Monae

By Andrew P. Gelfand

Claude Monet:

Paints backgrounds for fun

En plein air

Chills with Degas and Manet

Always in dots

Yardfest 1904

Predates androids

Only speaks French

Hangs at MFA

Janelle Monae:

Sings background for fun.

Real big hair

Chills with Diddy and M.I.A.

Always in tux

Yardfest 2014

Dates androids

Only sounds French

Plays at MSG

Both:

Better than Tyga
