... because most people are social retards with the palate of a four year old child. Calling his stuff "art" is like putting a Quarter Pounder on a silver tray and calling it "cuisine".

There may be merit in what you say but can you or anyone explain to me the 'value' or 'appeal' of that guy's art .. the one who cut his ear off? (Vangoy, van Gogh?) Trash .. in my poor and humble opinion.

You are saying Van Gogh's art is trash? Wow. I am sorry but I couldn't disagree more.

As a Texan I am partial to Windberg though. I have an original that I am quite proud of.

Dude...I would suggest you explore Vincent's full body of work. He was a major talent...and an artistic genius.

Vincent van Gogh, The Starry Night (1889). Museum of Modern Art, New York.

Meaning no offense, but are you telling me that you honestly cannot perceive the beauty of this work by van Gogh? I'm not trying to put you down or be a smart-aleck -- I really want to know. An appreciation of van Gogh's work comes naturally to most people.
