;-) I framed one of them.

And I'm sure it means more to you than any Pis-caso could ever mean to anyone. I love it.

[OESY]

The accident occurred as a gesturing Wynn, who suffers from retinitis pigmentosa, an eye disease that affects peripheral vision, struck the painting with his right elbow, leaving a hole the size of a silver dollar in the left forearm of Marie-Theresa Walter, Picasso's 21-year-old mistress.

I'm more the "Dogs Playing Poker" type myself

Just like they had on the Roseanne show for all those years that they struggled to stay afloat. Then when the won they lottery and redecorated the house, took the picture down and started wearing furs and bling, the show went off the air. It's easy to see that we "common" folk have our heads screwed on straight. It's those rich folk who don't know what the heck to do with their money so they buy Picasso's and all that useless junk to fill up their lives and the more they get the less it pleases them so they keep compounding their error. IMHO of course.

ROFLMAO.

I'll bet you wouldn't turn down $135 mil. if you had the painting though, would you? HEHE.

[phoenix0468]

It might increase the "abstract" value as well. LOL.

[phoenix0468]

It's all subjective. I agree with you choice of Art, but I don't agree with your opinion.

[phoenix0468]

Uh, that's her shoulder, I think. Then again it is a Picaso, so it very well could be a pud.

[phoenix0468]

Ah, the Bewitched remake was pretty darn funny, IMO. If you're talking about the movie, I mean.

"Oh shit, look what I've done," Wynn said,

That's an extremely restrained response considering what I would have been saying.

[phoenix0468]

Funny, I've heard that very same opinion from some artists that I have met. Is that an "artist in thing" or something?

[Centurion2000]

It's a beautiful piece, even if the cultural cretins pretend they don't understand it.

It's ok, we like hearing from pretencious art admirers too.

Seriously, what the heck is there to understand about the work of art?? You either like it, or you don't. Art is about entertainment, not education.

When we want education, crack open a textbook, not an art gallery.

[phoenix0468]

Now, as much of a frigin liberal leftist creap as Warhol may have been he almost singlehandedly created art as commercial media. You may not agree that he was a great artist, but there are many artists who owe their commercial success to him.

[phoenix0468]

LOL.

[New Girl]

Do some real good with that money and help some people who are hungry, cold or sick. Then you really have something worthwhile.

excellent post

[phoenix0468]

Have a three year old paint something. Put it next to the later Picaso and ask an art critic which is better. Half will probably tell you that the three year old's work is. LOL.

RE # 84:

That's Art? No, it's kitsch. This is Art!

[phoenix0468]

ROFLMAO!!

[phoenix0468]

Of course the letigious left would say, "Well, you shouldn't have put it out if you didn't want me to put my elbow through it, and by the way, I'm suing you for hurting my elbow, boohoo!!"

[phoenix0468]

What's that guy's name who throws paint on a canvas and calls it a masterpiece? He supposed to be taking the art world by storm; IMO he's taking them for a ride, LOL.
