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

I would be art if a boob belt were placed around it.

And I don’t understand anybody who would call the First Lady’s fashions glamorous, but there it is.

What the heck is that? Art, my grand kids could do that. The last time I went to an art museum, this was the featured painting, called 'Red Yellow Blue', yeah, that's art:

I did one like that in third grade but threw it away, darn it.

My niece painted better than that .... when she was 3.

That particular Matisse is representative of the art he produced at the end of his life. I’ve forgotten what physical condition forced him to go from painting to arranging pieces of colored paper.

My grandmother, who used to knit beautiful and intricate sweaters, was still knitting on oversized needles at the end of her life, several years after she had gone blind. I have her last knitting, still on those inch-thick needles, saved in a bag. It’s not up to the standard of her earlier work by a long shot, but it made her happy to keep doing it. I’m guessing Matisse felt the same way.

I've got a boxful of'em from when my oldest was in kindergarten! I'll be glad to sell one to ya for the low, low price of only $100K! ;-)

(To pay for her first year of college, Lord help us when that day comes!)
