Picasso was a painter, at least as much as the guy who painted my house is a painter. Actually, I wouldn't even want him painting my house.

Hopefully these theives did something useful with Picasso's work, like lining a birdcage.

Maya and the Doll. What a laugh!

Here's some real art.

were stolen from the home of Diana Widmaier-Picasso.

If they are worth $66 million it was not a great idea to keep them at home...

My kid would get a C on that in her art class, and she's in ninth grade.

You know nothing of Picasso.

I had the same feelings until I went to the Picasso Museum in Paris and discovered the depth and scope of his work. The guy knew his craft, inside and out. He lived his art.

I'm not a fan of Picasso's either, but I don't think theft should be condoned, even considering the quality of the work.

Just my 2 cents.

You want bad art?

I had the privilege to go here http://www.rijksmuseum.nl/index.jsp
earlier this year.

Picasso was clearly insane if he thought his paintings represented reality.

Only a satantically diseased mind could could so so distort and disfigure humanity in "art".

With any luck they will never be returned.

Picasso was inspired by looking at the paper at the bottom of his bird's cage - which he didn't change often.

[HEY4QDEMS]

Wasn't me.

The director of the Picasso Museum, Anne Baldassari, said several paintings and drawings were stolen from the home of Diana Widmaier-Picasso

. . . who is demanding a ransom of $66 million before she'll take them back.

An Islamofascist Cell needed quick money to get a few IEDs from Iran.

Watch for an explosion near the Champs Elysee soon.

Thomas Kinkade's are should be prominent on that site.

Here we go again.

The back and forth between those who find representative art the height of artistic achievement and those with an eye for the abstract.

But of course, we cannot like what we like without denigrating someone else's body of work, apparently.

I prefer art that challenges me.

For a little perspective ... my mother is a painter of the abstract sort ... and my daughter went to a magnet middle school for the fine arts. I have spent my fair share of time (and a few other's share as well) in museums and galleries by virtue of their talents and interests.

[reagandemo]

are should be art. Not enough coffee!

Just my 2 cents.

Which is more than I would pay for that rubish.
