So the painting’s a fake, the Obozos are fakes - looks like a perfect fit.

I may be rich. My wife saved a whole drawer full of pictures like that my two sons did in elementary school.

Hey that thing is a fraud. I've got the original hanging on my refrigerator! It's from my grandkid's nursery school.

“I don’t understand anybody that would call that art.”

Look at the purple blob, the painter couldn’t even stay inside the lines!! Dadaism at its best.
