Kissing his mistress while groping another.His works are sloppy, juvenile, dark and low brow, imo. Someone else can pay $$$$.
Perhaps the Left will allow works they find dubious in a Nazi like “Degenerate Art” exhibition or wing. I know for sure, that wing will backfire like it did for the Nazis.
Better start burning his work.
Get Woke. Lots of Smoke.
There was an exhibit of his work at the National Gallery here in Ottawa. Very interesting and enjoyable and I do not recall such warnings being put up in advance.
Yep the Eiffel Tower, The Louvre, Versailles, all gotta come down. Planes, trains and automobiles next.
Picasso is what I was thinking. Surprised the “Me Too” types haven’t gone after him yet.
In many nations, including Mexico, if you rape a 12 year old girl, and then marry her, you face no charges
It’s not about that. It’s about destroying Western Civilization one piece at a time.
Wonder if the Met will look at Muhammad then...
Nah, that would be not understanding another culture.
I say that all of the cultural output created by anyone who is “flawed” should be destroyed. Let’s just burn it all down and start over with just the work done by the perfect people.
Scary times we live in. I suspect within 25 years, they will be coming into our homes to collect un-pc art work and books.
Muhammad had sex with a nine year girl.
When does this crowd’s embargo on Roman Polansky films begin?
Cultural genocide.
If history was judged by today’s standards, there would be no history. The only reason such warnings are being administered are the same reasons that civil war statues are being torn down and Founding Fathers are being “shamed” as white supremacist racist slaveholders. The intent is to remove all wealth from producers and transfer it to non-producers, then to destroy the producers from any sense of worth. In short, the Democrat Party playbook.
Maybe this will bring the price of his paintings down to my level.
Maybe Britain will take this as an opportunity to disband their navy as their sailors of the past certainly were not shy about impregnating the young and willing native girls they found in Polynesian Paradises.

They are upset over his relationships with “underage” girls. Underage by today’s standards? Underage by the laws of Polynesia at the time? Did Polynesia even HAVE laws about that subject at the time?
The article also doesn’t mention the age of the girls. 16? 13? 9?
re: “The move to cancel Gauguin could kill off Western culture”
Yet, Epstein (et al*), for decades, in RECENT years ...

the article mentions him marrying a Polynesian girl of 13. If this was marriage, then no laws were broken.
