This is not art. It's not particularly good art, and the subject matter is not exactly something that I cannot find in the pages of the UK Daily Mail on a regular basis. This is an unskilled attempt to be avant garde or something other than skilled art.

It’s infinitely more ‘art’ than anything Jackson Pollock ever did.

The girl’s expression is anything but relaxed. She is visibly angry at being asked to pose that way. Children cannot hide their feelings.

My daughter paints. So we’ve had a lot of discussions about layouts and circular patterning to draw attention throughout the painting, etc.

She would tear into this one for lack of structure, content, and depth. There is little skill involved in it’s development and layout.

That being said - if they felt it previously deserved a place in the museum.. for whatever reason (period piece, artists renown for other art, geography, etc) then I’m glad that they aren’t bowing down to anyone’s demands.
