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

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

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