As far as I'm concerned, her ‘repair’ job is no worse than some of the ‘priceless’ Picasso’s I've seen. And .... as you might have surmised, I know absolutely nothing about art.

well you know that anything by Picasso is not art!
That's a start!

You don’t have to know anything about art to understand that the painting looked a certain way, based on the intention of the painter and the period in which he painted, and the botched restoration rendered the painting unrecognizable and therefore destroyed the intention of the painter.
The fact that you think it looks like a Picasso proves that the intention of the painter was destroyed, because the painter was not Picasso or trying to emulate Picasso. Whether or not Picasso’s work has merit is entirely beside the point. The point is that the painting is unrecognizable, and therefore has been destroyed.

Shhh ... that's the pathetic secret about modern "art". Don't tell anybody.
