A perfect example of why the art world lost me a long time ago.

It's a freaki'n crayon drawing drawing and the guy was probably stoned when he did it. There is nothing great about it.

When I became interested in the art world years ago, this is the kind of stuff I admired.

I really do appreciate skill far more so than 'expression' especially when I have no clue what the hell these 'artists' are pretending to express.

It is perfectly fine to appreciate beauty for beauty's sake and talent for what it shows.

The 'Scream' might be worth $100 Million in that Total BS world that Art has become, but I wouldn't hang that ugly damn sketch in my storage shed.

You better take a closer look—I think somebody messed with the image of “Christina’s World” that you posted.

So what is going on in the bottom painting?

"Woman looking for contact lenses in the grass"?

"Woman wakes up at dawn after passing out on the lawn during a wild overnight party"?

Why is the sky a different color on the left? What kind of car is in the driveway?

How am I supposed to understand the picture when I don't know those details?

Is this what you were thinking about with regard to appreciating artistic skills? I hear that the artist was able to create it only after getting himself plastered ...
