The Seurat “A Sunday Afternoon...” was considered radical at the time it was painted in the Mid-1880s. Seurat took the modernism of the Impressionists, technique and subject matter, another degree. Still Seurat shows talent and originality as opposed to toddler cutting and pasting of tape.

At least no one would hang Duchamp’s “fountain” upside down ... but I know some plumbers who would try.

The “artist” and purchaser should both commit seppuku.

That’s far more in depth than my comprehension of art, but I know what I like. :)
Thank you for the detailed explanation.

If you can’t tell which end is up then it’s not art...

I have The Last Supper.
Not the original though. :)

Good art should hang in any direction.

That, and orientation makes you ask different questions.
Most people ask “Who was she?”, “What is she thinking?” “What’s behind that smile?”.
But this way you ask, “What hair product does she use?”, “Her world is upside down but she still smiles!”, “Did she cause her world to be upside down?” “She knows something!”

the real joke is the actual Mondrian painting is on the other side of the canvas.

Exactly! It's not that hard to hang a piece of art properly!

The pretentiousness of so much of the art market is laughable. Cracked up laughing when Craig Ferguson totally dissed Rothko on his talk show. I thought I was the only one to find his “art” insufferable.
