Have you visited the Museum of Bad Art yet?

No?

I think you should.

Collected from dumpsters across America.

DeepBlueSea said...: Moi, I like the bottom one, where 'Richie' (Lionel Richie??) has painted Michael Jackson holding a horse's head. A head which appears to have no connection to a body.

There is a reason for everything, no?

DeepBlueSea said...: Also the first piece intrigues,
paying homage both to Munch
(the Scream, 1893, www.answers.com/ topic/the-scream )

and, rather more convincingly, Dalí (the astonishing 'Apparition of face and fruit dish on a beach', 1938, http://www.virtualdali.com/38ApparitionOfFaceAndFruit.html )

The cat one scares me.; 6:57 PM
whyioughtta said...: Man: They're so hateful, they're loveable.

Deep: I think your comparisons just elevated them waaaay beyond what the original artists would ever have imagined.

TS: That cat is truly disturbing. But I think the "portrait" of Hilary and Chelsea Clinton (at least, that's who I'm seeing) is the stuff of nightmares. The colours...the bone structure...shudder.; 1:42 PM
