I was thinking spills, but messes can work too.
For the parentz or the kids? ;’}
Agreed. And even if art doesn’t matter private property should.
I stopped in to use the restroom.
The parents of course.
If a modern artist pukes in the woods how much will an art gallery pay for it?
Years ago, I was with the then-wife and her parents at Chicago's Art Institute. The FIL grabbed me, and asked me about some Pollock painting, iirc. I had no idea. I told him to write the name down, and ask the other daughter, an art history graduate...
It’s sort of like an exhibit of a fruit bowl that is entitled “Food”. Nobody knows exactly what it is, so they eat it. Next exhibit says “Shiite’.
It wasn’t art, it was decor — which puts it a step ahead of Jackson Pollock.
Thanks BenLurkin.

Looks like it took talent and a little bit of work to create those glass angel wings.
My Mom took me to the St. Louis Art Museum regularly from a very early age- the first time I recall being wanting to see an Egyptian mummy I heard they had, but found it disappointing. But by the end of the trip I had found something that has forever stuck in my head, a painting called “The Captive Charger.” It’s a beautiful painting and in person will knock you out... though as a kid I thought it was weird to have a horse with a jaguar or leopard skin on it being led away by American Indians.
On another visit - still a grade schooler- I was captivated by a painting by George Caleb Bingham. On one wall there was this huge painting [well, it seemed huge to me] called “The Jolly Flatboatmen In Port.”
As it happens there was an exhibition of his work there this month and one of the components of the exhibit is for kids- there’s pencils and tracing paper and graphite paper which they or parents can show children how to use, so the kids can trace out a copy of their choice of one of his sketches for themselves.
There’s also a downloadable app of the exhibit so people can read up on pieces they like.
Needless to say the St. Louis Art Museum has a much more mature view of having children in art museums than the guy in this article, though they of course would be quick to chaten any parents as irresponsible as these that let their kids destroy art. Some children are after all, future patrons, even if others are future felons.

What people don’t realize is that the best abstract artists have excellent drawing skills, a finely honed sense of composition, and a deep understanding of the workings of color. Most abstract artists have the ability to draw a perfectly rendered rose or a realistic portrait, but they choose not to. Instead they choose to express their creativity by creating a visual experience that is more free and unencumbered by the weight of objects.
...afew years ago I witnessed a father watch his 6 year old son slide down the left front fender of a 32 ford coupe at a local cruise night. The car is very deep cherry red...beautifully maintained and
expensive. The moronic father stood there,within three feet,grinning like a hyena on crack,...after a few loud Yo’s...hey’s..and WTF’s..the father grab the kid and walked off
with an attitude...and yes some scratches from those little metal brass like buttons on the pockets...
My guess....they don’t have neighborhood cruise nights in Mexico
Looking it up to refresh my memory, it wasn’t the horse with the jaguar skin, it was one of the Indians.
It made me look up the range of the jaguar when we got home.
I am 75 and I have been painting and studying art for over 30 years and I DON’T understand JacksonPollock an Rothko.
