Hunter Biden, the budding artist, is never going to be Jackson Pollock or Edward Hopper. He probably isn’t Dennis Hopper, for that matter.

That doesn’t make him an influence-peddler hiding behind an easel, however. And ethical conflicts, like modern art, are best viewed with some perspective.

In case you missed the brouhaha here, the president’s 51-year-old son, whose shady business dealings have long been the subject of scrutiny, is now being represented by a SoHo gallery owner who expects to sell some of Hunter Biden’s abstract paintings for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

“... the identity of the buyers won’t be disclosed, so that neither Hunter Biden nor his father can be unduly influenced ...”

This is exactly WHY they need to be disclosed - so that we can see who is trying to buy influence.

Why would someone pay hundreds of thousands of dollars from a guy blowing paint bubbles? This is the stuff kids do at summer camp that gets hung on refrigerators for a few days. You can buy old masters, Salvador Dali etc for that coin. Of course nothing is going on hahaha.

Give a monkey or a horse a paint brush and they could make better art than that!

Hunter’s paintings have found a niche market with K9 handlers who found they can use them to train their narcotic detector dogs to alert on trace amounts of cocaine.

Riiiight.

Looks like the boys got talent. Able to hold the paint brush steady in that picture while have withdrawal shakes.

I often wonder how Hunter got started in this? Was he snorting coke and accidentally blew a loogie through his pipe and thought it looked cool?
