Max Power Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Love it, reminds me of that comedy series 2012! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prism10 Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Ah... In years to come they would be described as classic art! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojomonkey Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I suspect Monet et al were considered rubbish at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alias Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I suspect Monet et al were considered rubbish at the time. Really? Even outside the art circles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prism10 Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Well Van Gogh never sold a painting in his lifetime (except one that bought by a friend who felt sorry for him!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzzi Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Thanks for the link. Enjoyed them, and wasn't at all embarrassed. I've always liked Brigid Riley's "op art" but I didn't quite get the link to swimming lanes and athletic tracks - she nearly always paints stripes anyway!

manshimajin Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Alias, totally off topic but your avatar is terrifying. Would look more artistic if the ear was sliced off and the head bandaged! I like some of them but cannot see the connection with the Olympics. A few posters of ticket touts, brown envelopes stuffed with money and of over-priced hot dogs might capture the spirit of the games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
