First off, Hans Holbien the Younger was a whore.

That said, yeah I see the skull. It's distorted. Big Whoop. What is this Marilyn Manson meets the Happy painter?
The best perspective to have on this waste of canvas
is to see it sitting out on the curb on garbage day.

Count me among those without hope...

I've seen this before. I know I have...Wait a minute! I've got it! Tell me if this rings a bell: Just sit right back and hear a tale a tale of a fateful shit... Or is that "trip"?

Anyway, I don't think Gilligan himself would find anything redeemable in this travesty. I'm rooting for the waves...

I'm assuming mit blau means "sucks ass"?

Lemme guess, Mr Pollock started the Neo-Microwave My Painset-ism movement that took the back alleys by storm one weekend in 1954?

Get it outta here.

You would. You smell your own ass.

For a third grader this is not bad. Although I would get them on Ritalin without further ado. Oh, this is by Picasso? Yeah, and I'm not an art critic.

Why do I get the feeling that Pollock bounced a lot of checks?

Oh Yeah, "The Blue Boy" by Thomas Gainsborough. I love the look in his eyes. It says, "You don't want to look at this crappy painting anymore than I wanted to pose for it, but here we are."

Apparently Gainsborough painted this over another painting that he had already started. That was probably wise. Anyone who paints this badly had better learn to recycle!

Carey, Thankyou for a great thread. Where are you? Perhaps you could post some of your favourite artworks?

careydevi said:"Your favourite paintings/sculptures?"


Moany Lisa was a ventriloquist!(It's True!)

I suppose my favourite painting has got 2 b the world's most famous work of art, Leonardo Da Vinci's Mona Lisa. Not, i hasten 2 add, because it holds some particular appeal 4 me but rather on account of the fact that it's the only inanimate object that's ever spoken 2 me.

That summer in Paris i queued 4 AGES with the rest of the suckers - sorry, i mean cognoscenti, watching with a mixture of anticipation & curiosity, as i beheld the wonder & fascination with which those b4 the great lady so studiously surveyed her. As we filed ever so slowly in front of this shrine, i paused momentarily 2 savour the experience & gazed at the woman who's big on enigmatic grins but a wee bit short on the eyebrow front.


That's when it happened. The most famous painting in the world spoke 2 me & i alone in the Louvre heard her! And would u like 2 know what pearl of wisdom she shared after half a millenium of silence? Well, i don't mean 2 disappoint u but she only managed 2 utter these 2 lousy sentences; "Man, u r PIG-ignorant! Now beat it & let some1 with true artistic appreciation gape in awe at my unparalleled beauty!" And she said all that without moving her pursed lips (in english too AND with a hint of a Brooklyn accent, if i'm not much mistaken!)!



Ok, not funny but that experience really did make me realise that, when it comes 2 art, my ignorance knows NO bounds!

Having said that, in my ecstatic state of blissful artistic numbskullery i did enjoy an exhibition of works by romantic painters such as Turner & Constable many moons ago. Some paintings by Claude Monet have also made a favourable impression on me (no pun intended!).

I love this one! I was looking for this pic.
There is another nude portait I love, I don't remember the the title but I'm sure it was degas.

Lleena said:

Thankyou for this one. Out of the selection presented here, I like this one the best. The color, and especially the position of the woman resting is lovely.

My second favorite picture is Moonbeams' Venus.

hmm...I'm trying to find some paintings of the artists whom I was reading about some months ago.
His paintings include doctors cutting open up a human brain and storage of meat.

More information please. What show do I hate?

I hate Bosch too btw.
