Yelling at Clouds: On Musée D’Orsay’s First Foray Into NFTs
Arielle Acosta

There’s this great meme from The Simpsons that features a cartoon newspaper clipping with an image of the character Abe, Homer Simpson’s elderly father, angrily shaking his fist at a fluffy white cloud against a flat, blue background. The headline next to the image reads: “Old Man Yells at Cloud”. A few weeks ago, standing in Musée D’Orsay and wincing at exhibition text, I found myself conjuring the image of Abe Simpson and his troublesome cloud in my mind’s eye.
