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.

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

The style reminds me of Picasso’s Guernica.

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

The couple should put it up for a Christie’s auction and cash out.

Why are they “allowing” the painting to be displayed. It’s not theirs to loan. They received stolen property.

Jackson Pollock (1912-56) has, for multiple reasons, been one of the easiest to criticize artists, especially when you see how he 'paints' (smile)!

This one "Number 17A" sold in 2016 for $200m.

But then, on the other hand, you have a painter like Mark Rothko (1903-70) Large paintings $25m+.

Which would you prefer? Remember, art is in the eye of the beholder!

Sometimes these classic masterpieces look better when you hang them upside down, and sometimes they look better when you turn the front of the painting towards the wall.
