“No one was interested in saving the Darnwell Museum until we hit upon the idea of it becoming a center for Duck Art,” said Beatrix Potter from the mayor’s office.
“It’s a museum of flight,” said John Line of Shreveport’s new Duck Art Museum. Opening in a building that was for many years called the Darnwell, the Duck Art Museum heralds the rise of anti-urbanist and tea bagger culture,” said former Mayor Cedric Williams.Beloved by the traditionalists of the ArkLaTex but a term of disparagement by artists who consider themselves legit, Duck Art, the rendering of the classic water birds in oil or acrylic, has seen a renaissance.
“The return of conservative culture, emphasizing the ritualistic slaughter of winged and hoofed creatures, is part of the reason for the return of the popularity of Duck Art,” said Dallas critic Laura Schmaltz.
Images of landing ducks, ducks on the wing and of atomized, direct-hit ducks will form the bulk of the collection, said tourism honcho Virginia Woolfe.
