At least it’s partly representational and not completely full blown abtract modern art. Beyond that the value is in the eye of the beholder. If I had the money it wouldn’t be something I would hang in my home.
Glad someone agrees with me.
It’s like liberals ruminating over “modern art”, each one trying to appear enlightened, when it reality, it’s hideous art but they’re all too afraid to say so, lest they seem “uncultured”.
Crap is crap, no matter how much it costs.
