“Not exactly the Winged Victory of Samothrace, is it?”
Actually, it’s all the parts around that statue that got cut out.
Winged Victory of Samothrace, one of the most beautiful statues of all, IMHO.

Take one look at this and tell me it isn't pure genius? Oh... it *is* pure genius. She's figured a way to take an ordinary lump of clay and get somebody to give her lots and lots of money for it. That's what takes genius, and I'm sure it beats working for a living. :-)

Nothing portrays and predicts the secular West’s empty, cold, foul, nihilistic future better than modern, western art.

The only good thing about the depression is that these hacks, all throughout the world will have to find a real job.

"Take one look at this and tell me it isn't pure genius?"Ooohh..What an absolutely GEORGEOUS hunk of clay!!!!
I'll give $10, no..$15 million for it.

Honestly, the art critics that like this crap need to be taken out back and shot.

Hitler said something similar about such art...
"Works of art that cannot be understood but need a swollen set of instructions to prove their right to exist and find their way to neurotics who are receptive to such stupid or insolent nonsense will no longer openly reach the German people..."
Source: Shirer "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, page 244. Part of the Speech of Hitler on German Art, July 18, 1937
He then proceeded to remove the works of Cezanne, Van Gogh, Gauguin, Matisse, Picasso and others from German galleries and museums.
That said, Warren isn't of that caliber IMO.

I liked Robert Crumb back in the 60's when I was usually stoned.
