Is that picture in #8 it?

Why is a pud growing out of her neck?

"Oh shit, look what I've done," Wynn said, according to Ephron, who gave her account in a blog published on Monday.

Serves him right for trying to impress liberal twits like Barbara Walters and Nora Ephron. Judging from Ephron's work, she wouldn't know art if it bit her in the ass. I talked to the three people that saw her remake of Bewitched and they couldn't wait to get out of the theater.

In the words of Wynn: "Oh shit!"

Picasso is just another artist too lazy to get a real job.

Some of his earlier work is tolerable, if uninspired. The vast majority of it, though, is way overrated. By contrast, I don't know if there's a single Bouguereau painting I've seen that I haven't at least reasonably liked, and many of them I just adore.

I went. Took a week to get the smell off.

I love to hear the cretin morons pronounce themselves superior for disdaining the art.

It's a beautiful piece, even if the cultural cretins pretend they don't understand it.

I recall a show of Picasso's formative years from childhood to age 25 that was damn fascinating. Alas, he peaked too soon, after Le Demioselles d'Auvignon it was all downhill from there.

Funny how Bouguereau has made such a comeback. He dominated the French Academy to an unhealthy extent in his day. The smart set spent nearly a century bad-mouthing him and everything he stood for, but he was always popular amongst us peasants. I do however fault him for posing his models indoors then moving the scene outside. Winslow Homer was notably fanatic about plein air natural light.

I have to admit, I had to look to see what Bouguereau is after your reply. I am not very artsy fartsy.

Oh my gosh, that is the funniest thing I've read this week!! Still laughing.

Listen, Proud2BeRight, you miss what which is worthwhile.

Most works of Picasso are of genius.


Instead, poke your proud finger at the silly mass numbered screen works of the American "camp genius" Andy Warhol.

Then join a most gullible group.

What do you think she's dreaming about???? Hint: It ain't flowers!!

[Beagle8U]

I wasn't trying to be cute, thats what I saw!

When I first looked at it I only saw one eye on her tipped back head, and...well...a pud growing out of her neck.

I get to see the Picasso monstrosity in downtown Chicago and realize the guy was playing a joke on the city. Sorry, I am very analytical and have no appreciation for that kind of stuff. A Russell or Remmington is art to me. Picaso is kindergarten scribbling.

The Art Renewal Center has many paintings by centuries' worth of great artists, including some works produced in the last year.
