The problem is while it may be “art” it isn’t very good. Almost childlike

I found a long lost glazed chocolate donut this morning.

Can’t be shown in a museum though because I already ate it.

You haven’t seen Jackson Pollack’s work have you?..................

[edwinland]

Amazing story. And yes Jacob Lawrence was a great artist.

I create Jackson Pollack’s every time I have stomach flu !

The style reminds me of Picasso’s Guernica.

But who are the blue-coats and who are they fighting?

I guess that's what qualifies as "art" these days. Give me the classic art, and that of the old Masters. I can't stand abstract, pop art, realism, cubism, impressionism, contemporary, surrealism, and all forms of modern art.

The artist ran out of red paint..................

I used to see Pollock’s work displayed while flipping between channels on my old TVs.

Yikes.... I bet they are just happy to not have the garish thing on their wall anymore. The decor you would need to have that thing be appropriate is a completely uncluttered operating room white with blond wood floors, 6500K lighting and it would need to be the only painting hung. The feeling would be about as warm as the North Pole in late January.

That sounds like performance art.

It depicts Shays’ Rebellion.

His brother, Charles, was actually a good artist.

I don’t know anything about this artist or work, but I do know “struggle” us a term communists and leftists use, and lots if left wing art used this style as a type of fake folk art look.

Exactly. Well said!
