Is'nt that amazing?! I guess I'll never understand art! I would'nt want that ugly thing hanging in my house. This is just further proof that some people just have more money than sense. I'm sure I could help them spend their money more wisely, if they would just give me a chance.

i don't care who painted it, that is the ugliest thing i have ever seen.

thats scary and i would probably get nightmares if i had it.

Shame on you guys, I heard his mistress had elephanttites. You should all feel bad about making fun of someone with such a terrible handicap. Pablo was a great man for being able to over look this little problem (by the way, he did have serious vision problems later in life), and it definatly affected his style and his love life. Shame, Shame, Shame.:nerd: :nerd:

me too. ive got some water colors, and finger paintings that should bring in a nice bag of money. i could have sold a piece entitled "Crayola on Dining Room Wall" but i already cleaned it with wd-40

After looking at a painting like that, it makes you wonder what really goes on in the man's head.

He needed 3ADL!!!!
