Modern Art is a strong competitor for the Oxyest of Oxymorons.

So I guess my bid of $4.25 wasn’t accepted.

I am so glad women do not all look like that...
Makes me wonder if she ever got medical help.
(Yes I know she didn’t really look like that.)

I sure would pass this art up at any sale at any price, but I suppose someone might think it was valuable. I guess “valuable” depends mostly on what somebody would pay for one of these painting. in my system of values, this might go for $.50

I think it’s one of the paintings stolen by the Nazis from the family that owned it.
I like the one of Adele Bloch-Bauer much better.

awwwww hPjeeeeezzzzz its so beautiful!💗
I love Klimts art and have several large printed on canvases in my home.
He also painted nature and I have one thats a tree & its grern.
In a way its light impressionism ? but how he pulls all things together is quite stunning.
I know he had what was called his “ gold period”

L. Hartman’s Portrait of Private Lawrence Pyle was hailed as a modern art masterpiece.
