Id love to hang that on my wall for when my parents and family come to visit... NOT!
I get what it shows but I don't think its clever or anything which a piece like this probably should be... unless I am missing something. All I see is a cooch and tits and something about your mom.

Brent - Its not everyones taste. SUre, its not the least bit classy... but every man should have a room his parents dont go into. That is of course if you have a betty crocker mom. I do not and mine would like it. That is of course if I issued it to the rest of the world and not her :1orglaugh

This is a very flawed statement.
You can define what YOU like in art and what youre USED to..
not one person can define art overall.
Basquiat
Warhol
The spatter paint guy (names slips me ATM)
Shit... Dali was a fruit.
you may not like it... but it IS art. Take the boobs and vag out. There still some arty aspect.
Just saying... you cant say this is not related to art.

Not subtle enough. Needs to have similar imaging in there but not be instantly recognisable so that you at least get a few people say it looks nice before they realise what they are looking at. Currently its more like something I would have drawn on one of my school books rather than something i'd hang on the wall.

subtlety and emphasis are completely different, Im sure you know.
Pretty sure this is an emphasis piece.
Though, your concept might be cool too :thumbsup

A Jackson Pollock painting, bought for $5 in a thrift store, is for sale at a Toronto gallery with an asking price of $50 million US.
The painting, made famous by the 2006 PBS documentary, Who the #$%& is Jackson Pollock, is being exhibited for the first time at Gallery Delisle in east Toronto from Nov. 13-27.
Teri Horton, a 76-year-old retired truck driver, bought the painting in 1992 as a gag gift, not knowing who the painter was at the time. Since the painting, nicknamed Teri's Find, was authenticated forensically she has refused all American offers and sent it to Canada to find a foreign buyer.
The painting is a 1.7-by-1.2 metres canvas with red, yellow, grey and blue paint dripped on it.
When American auction houses denied Horton visual authentication of the painting, she turned to science for validation.
"I've been through this with the U.S.A. market and they turn their back on forensic science and they won't take a stand for the painting," Horton told CBC News on Tuesday from her mobile home in Costa Mesa, Calif.
"They don?t deserve to have it. I want an international buyer to have it because of that," said Horton.
Since receiving forensic authentication, Horton has received and refused offers from American buyers that she describes as unfair.
In 2006, one of Pollock's works sold for about $140 million, the highest sum ever to be paid for a painting. Horton's painting was valued at $50 million by experts in the documentary.
Horton says she would not reject a higher bid from an American buyer over a foreign one. "I'm not that stupid ? but I would much prefer that another country have it," said Horton.
Gallery owner Michelle Delisle was brainstorming ideas for an opening event for her six-month-old gallery and approached Horton in late September "as a shot in the dark."
After talking on the phone, Delisle flew Horton to Toronto in early October to see the gallery and discuss terms. The contract for the gallery to exhibit and sell the painting was signed on Oct. 17.
"It's been a whirlwind," said Delisle.
Both Horton and Delisle say they are unconcerned about being able to sell the painting during the current economic recession.
"That's one market that hasn't fallen yet. Everything else has fallen to pot," said Horton.
After the painting was dismissed by major auction houses, Horton turned to Paul Biro, a Montreal forensic expert, to authenticate it. Biro found a fingerprint matching one on an already-authenticated painting and matching paint in Pollock's studio in New York.
Delisle says she believes in the results found by Biro, who authenticated a J.M.W. Turner painting for the Tate Britain.
"If he's good enough for J.M.W. Turner, he's good enough for a Pollock. If the Tate uses him, he's valid in my books," said Delisle.
The Toronto gallery's acceptance of the authentication was the main reason Horton said she wanted the painting sold in Canada, but also so she could stay in the background.
"It's become an albatross around my neck," said Horton. "If I were younger I'd say I'd keep my fight up with it but time's creeping up on me and I've got to take some of these principles and stick it and do what's right for my family and the people I want to help."
The money from the painting sale will go toward a trip to Ireland, Horton's ancestral homeland and toward buying her first new car.
Horton says she has no plans to move out of her California mobile home and instead wants to help families, including two of her sons, who have lost their homes because of the mortgage crisis.
The documentary garnered attention for portraying a truck driver with a Grade 8 education's crusade against the art world.
After a crash course in the art world, Horton, who says she is a fan of Norman Rockwell, still doesn't see the beauty in her Pollock.
"Do I personally think it's worth [$50 million]? Hell no. It's worth the $5 I gave for it. It's ugly."
There is a great biopic titled "Pollock", directed by and starring Ed Harris:

Thats the guy...
See I have an issue with things like, Ill remember them from forever back, no issues. Ironically I just seen the covere for this movie and I plan to watch it (probably tonight now) and since i recently seen that, It has to slip my mind.
But yes, Pollock ;)
There is a new Basquiat movie coming out, I believe its actual documentary footage. Either that or well faked.
Anyway... Yea, Art

Be prepared, it's not exactly a feel good movie, but it's pretty damn good, imho.
I thought that Julian Schnabel's movie "Basquiat" was good as well. David Bowie played Andy Warhol...

Imho that movie is *EXCELLENT*, but i may be a bit biased as Basquiat has been my all-time favourite artist since i visited the exhibition in Hannover/'86 - Oh, and that first pic in this thread looks definitely cool(!) - but it ain't "art". It's just a cool painting, nothing more, nothing less.
