The NYT:
Where they hire the deaf (they can't hear real Americans protesting), dumb (they fall for every spin and lie of the liberal politicians and talking heads), and blind (they can't tell an original artwork from an obvious copy/fraud - nor a Birth Certificate, either).
I guess you can say they are fully staffed with people who have occupational disabilities.
Good catch, Beelzebubba! A FReeper scores again with another expose.

I agree with you. I wasn’t clear. I think modernism is a reaction to photography. Abstract art became the dominant form with the advance of photography. Artists no longer seemed needed to provide a record for posterity.

All I see is a kid with a bottle of glue, a pair of scissors, various construction paper sheets, and a stack of assorted tissue papers.
Easy-peasy fancy art.

Hitler repulses me much more than he could possibly fascinate me. I read Speer’s memoir, that’s about everything I need to know about the Nazis.

The artist knew good art? It’ll be a constant reminder to those in the WH the truth will be told in time.

The Snail (L'escargot), by Henri Matisse in 1953
Watusi (Hard Edge), by Alma Thomas in 1963

With the above being said, that doesn’t excuse a wannabe lackatalent old lady from plagarizing a true artist’s original compositions and calling it their own........even if it’s written up in some artsy-fartsy publication.

If Obama had his way, the same thig would be happening to all US coloial art. Imagine all the Jeffersonian artwork, whisked away by the National Council of the Arts, and replaced with "the peoples art."
We approach cisis on many fronts.

A reader asked Maria vos Savant which contemporary artist would be most remembered in 500 years. Ms. v.S came up with a very preceptive answer: Norman Rockwell. Although scoffed at by the art establishment his works will be remembered long after no one even knows who Matisse was.

I dont believe it was a study of Matisse. More like a rip-off. The difference is intent. If she admitted and was open specifically what this came from and why she did it (which by all accounts I can find she did) and there was no attempt to profit from it (which I can't find she did) then I wouldn't call it a rip-off. It would be like me paraphrasing a great statement you made and giving you credit. The intent was not to rip off your statement but to honor or study it.
If someone can show me that she purposefully did this to deceive and tried to hide the source and she attempted or did profit from it, then we can talk about it being a rip-off.

I think you have it backwards...I’d rather see a statement around 1963, in her own words, not someone else’s, where she says it was a “study”.

It’s not so much about the moustache as the larger Nazi art larceny, some of which is still being tracked down to this very day.
