I'll have you know that I find that to be an extremely offensive statement. As an art lover, I feel that we should get the artwork out of the Louvre first.
Michealangelo, da Vinci, Reubens, Rembrandt, Botticelli, etc. WERE NOT FRENCH!
The French just happened to grab those paintings when they had lots of cash.
Yes, I know there were some great French painters, but they didn't corner the market on artistic expression.
I'll have you know I find that French Impressionist era CRAP that they call "art" offensive! Just leave that stuff behind ok?
