...No, I mean seriously, it is!
Ever though of painting a canvas with a couple of stripes? Nobody would pay money for it, let alone millions, would they? ... Now look up the name Mark Rothko and prepare to be amazed!
You're not wrong there. I live in London and I've taken my son to the Tate Modern a few times, it's a great place to cheer yourself up on a dull, rainy day. We love watching the serious "art" lovers spending half an hour studying a painting which looks like it was done by a monkey with a felt-tip pen! :rotfl:
I've got a photo of my son standing in front of Barnett Newman's works "Adam/Eve", and he's looking spectacularly unimpressed!"I may be many things but not being indiscreet isn't one of them"0 -
This seller's 'work' has been around a long time http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WATERCOLOUR-DRAWING-PAINTING-A4-in-need-of-frame-Whitby-in-North-Yorkshire-/221219918810?pt=UK_art_Paintings_GL&hash=item3381bc13da
(more of the same in their items for sale)
I think it'd help (or maybe that's just me being nice) if the painting wasn't just ripped out of a notebook!0 -
