It’s no wonder artists need government support now.

I’m supposing that picture is the raw material with which she intends to mold, chisel or form in some way to make an object of art.

I used to be interested in Art. Started studying it in school too... then I took a painting calss and a requirment was to go to the local museum to see a ‘renowned artsts’ work then on display.

It was the biggest collection of childish crap I could ever remember seeing and I told the teacher so. He said somethign to the effect that “his politics were what mattered”

I asked what the hell his political ideas had to do with the crayonscribbles I saw portrayed as ‘art’ and he looked like he honestly could not understand my question.

Looking at this “artists” work makes me wonder just how far left she is.

Looks like what is left over after the grandkids have been at Grandma’s house for the weekend.

That’s a sculpture you did of your Mother-in-Law?

Nope. That's a completed work, titled "Masculine World".

No further speculation needed on why Ms. Warren's "art" tends to be "sexually charged" and features bits of "female anatomy".

Just because you can put together S curves and C curves in a shape that opens at the top doesn’t mean that is is art, just S curves and C curves that open at the top.

Compositional garbage.

Check out Warren's "Lady with little dog" (at the Saatchi Gaallery in Loondon)...

Um, maybe when she uses the lump of detritus she’s massed there, then she’ll have something of an ‘artsy’ nature. Say she doesn’t fire the clay? ... Well, this pile of ‘do over’ clay is probably why ... ‘waste not want not’

Well, these phonies may well be geniuses at getting the government to subsidize a load of BS and silly fake academics to praise their “work”.

Here's what the Saatchi Gallery says about Warren's work...

Figures of fantasy emulation,Warren's sculptures make successes of their 'short-comings': malformed hands, or slight weight problem are things to be celebrated; and their shoes are always amazing. Warren's women are ravishing just the way they are. If their confident, over-the-top sexuality seems a little dirty, that's because it is -- literally. They're entirely made of clay.

Warren's a genius all right, but her genius is "sales."
