FWIW, MoMA is a great place to go. It’s my favorite art museum in Manhattan.

I have an MA in art. I am not ashamed to say that Jackson Pollack succeeded in hood winking the art world better than anyone ever has until Hunter Biden

Here’s something even better, standing behind a jet engine and tossing paint into the air, allowing the exhaust to splatter the paint all over the canvas.

This really is a thing.

Peter Quill: “Filthy? She has no idea. If we had a blacklight, it would look like a Jackson Pollock painting.”

In the film ‘Contraband’ the Wahlberg character crumples up a stolen Pollack canvas and throws it in the corner of an old van along with some paint cans and brushes. Customs takes a quick look and lets him go on his way.

This was sold for $120,000. No kidding. And then somebody ate it. Also no kidding. Then they taped another one back up. Really no kidding.

When someone has that much money to blow that they can’t see something like that, go to the store, buy a banana and some duct tape and DIY, it does push me a little toward Socialism.
