Quote: Kathleen,I have always loved your comments and as usual you are right on. You are cool.I like Rogers description too. Gave me a good chuckle, and I agree

Quote: I am open to strange and thought provoking art. I would love to paint like Salvador Dali for example. I aim to paint surrealist stuff myself. Give your viewer a challenge to understand by all means but at least be skilled enough to paint something recogniseable. I don't begin to understand all of Dali's motives or reasons but, boy, could that man paint and produce wonderous images. As for this Yoko rubbish, no, sorry, wasted on me. It's a case of using a well known name, being avant garde and keep self-promoting. Some idiot somewhere will take you seriously or worse see a way of making money from it. In my opinion she has as much talent as a piece of used cardboard and is far less useful. You may have guessed? I don't value her very much. Roger

Quote: She's just riding her fame (or her late husband's fame) once again. Without that, she wouldn't be in any gallery.She could just prop her chin on a pedestal and call it "wizened apple" and that could be better than just plopping an apple there.I have bags of sand from New Jersey and Florida and Michigan, are they art?I have rocks from several different states and different parts of Canada, are they art?I have puzzle pieces that my cats chewed on, are they comparable to someone's brain, as in chewing on problems? I've had the idea of taking cellphone photos of buttcracks at the grocery store, for some reason, that's the place to see a lot of upper unexpected tush. Grocery shopping and UUT. Is it art?
