One Picasso: $104 million

A gallon of gasoline: $1.84

A single match: $0.02

The look on the face of every art critic on the planet: F***ing hilarious! Er ... Priceless.

I don't like that particular painting, but I am a fan of Picasso's because his artwork is so abstract.

I don't know, I prefer Renaissance era painters like Gentile Bellini, etc. Call me a "heathen" will you, Taw? What about "classical" art like that, eh? Generalising Philistine!

Mantegna.... intersting. I did a close up reproduction study of Mantegna's Virgina Annunziata. I was learning the painting technique of illumination used
back then. I thought I did a very good job of it but my gf snickered at it. She said that while the original, of course, clearly conveyed the inspiration, innnoncence, awe and concern in the Virgin, mine looked like Sophia Loren.

Well. I gotta admit I had the hots for Sophia Loren but... it still miffed me when
the gf burst my bubble like that.

@supasnipa, loads of your co-nationals here, don't feel lonely; however certain of the Europeans have spamming powers vastly superior to yours (not me though!)


lol taw....superior to his....not likely....i dont think ben could even top his...

Hmmm... yea I like Picasso's work, but that is one of his worst works, and I honestly wouldn't have in my house unless I was paid. Ye Gods anyone demented enough to pay 104 million for it... well they deserve to lose 104 million, that's what.
Now, some of his paintings I would gladly pay 104 million for (assuming of coure that I had 74545million in the bank), this one- most definitely not.

Cezanne, Post-Impressionist. Yeah. That's what he's lumped into but I always kinda thought it was over generalizing his work....like there actually is a Post Impressionism school or something. Guess you have to call it something.

I like his middle career work, the stuff that gets coloring influences from the Impressionists. His early stuff is too monochromatic for me.
