This is actually one of his better ones. I could never see why his art was so popular.

Even Hunter has better looking art.

[HYPOCRACY]

It’s not a Hunter Biden? Coulda fooled me.

[Jamestown1630]

Hunter Biden had nowhere near the mastery of technique; or any mastery at all.

A lot of Klimt has to be seen in person. The Nazis sure thought it was valuablee.

Bah! Too representational. If you want modern art it has to be abstract and something a 5 year old could have made like this one by Jackson Pollock. It went for $200 million in 2015. Ladies and Gents I give you Number 17A

If I could do it, it ain’t Art.

Guy had a little trouble with the hands and fingers, eh? The woman’s look like mine feel today. Wonder if I could get a couple bucks for a photo of my fingers?

I wouldn’t pay 50 cents for it. But ugly.

Pollock’s stuff looks like a thousand paint brushes were thrown at a canvas from a balcony.

Lol.

Sgt. Hartman’s first name was Lawrence.
“Only faggots and sailors ...” He did spend some time talking about reach-arounds.
Things that make you go hmmm

[catnipman]

“wouldn’t have paid a single $1 for it at a yard sale!”

[Jamestown1630]
