The Sistine Chapel is Art.

This is crap:

And the impressionists, who started the disaster called "modern art," only look good in comparison:

Please God, put an end to this hoax called "modern art."

Now, to cleanse your pallet...

These paintings by Bouguereau, representing the height of realism, are what Impressionism, Dadaism, and the rest of modern art supposedly superseded.

Time will be kind to Bougereau. The modernists? Not so much.

Nothing wrong with the impressionists, I love the Monetsm Manets and others. but much later art is crap! Here is a nice Picasso drawing of Shakespeare for you!

I agree. I visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC last spring. Spent way too much time in the Egyptian area and had to hustle through the 1800 European art, bypassed the Picasso crap, stood in awe of Rembrandts paintings. Had my photo taken next to Cabanal’s BIRTH OF VENUS and want to go back again.

Bogereau’s BIRTH OF VENUS is also one of my favorites.
