I don't want art destroyed, but I don't want former prisoners to profit. I guess I'd rather see this work stored somewhere for future psychiatrists to study.

Why did we allow terrorists to make "art" ?
To: mairdie
I send out a congrats letter to all the artists, telling them they won the gitmo art contest. When they show up to claim their prize give them a whole bunch of little lead trophies.

Some of the conditional releases required these bas**** to take art to calm their souls. Guess what...it never works...

How is this any different than selling and exhibiting the art made by Charles Manson, John Wayne Gacy, or Adolph Hitler?

How was the ship model made without access to knives and other tools?

Odd, the ships are all western types.
I guess the one was made in shop class?

Hitler was probably a better artist than most of these guys.

I remember that! I wanted to send it in but mother wouldn’t let me.

They didn’t. That stuff is terrible and a joke to call it art in any form ... paint-by-the-dots and glue-the-kit-pieces-together does not constitute art - even fourth rate art.

I would guess that PIF was correct that the ship was built from a kit rather than handmade. And I would agree, in that case, that that particular piece doesn’t constitute art.

He had an excellent grasp of scale and perspective, light and shadow. But, his people look like paper dolls and seem to be sort of levitating. But, then again, he always did have trouble with that people thing.

I had the same thought. I’m guessing that they were given images and told they could use them as inspiration/model.

Even with a kit, you need cutting tools to clean up the parts.

Excellent point. Hard to imagine doing it with plastic spoons.
