Crap painting sells for $75.1 million (£47.2m) at an auction in New York.

The sad thing is that I could have painted that

Wish i had painted that shit

75.1 mill $ would've come in handy

Take a look at Picasso's "Bull" (I think it's called), all he did was put a bicycle handlebar on top of a bicycle seat, thus creating a bullhead, and this "sculpture" is considered a masterpiece.


Also, when I read the title to this thread, I thought the painting was literally made out of crap.

Let me guess it was titled "Man wakes up after a drunken night of debauchery and finds out he had sex with a heifer, a very obese lady, two hens, and 5 men", or "Man on speed for a week looks into mirror", before he changed it?

[Kwon_2]

I'd call this masterpiece "DERP" if i knew i could get 80 mill for it

Most people on getbig are too unsophisticated to judge art.

Hitler was part Jew himself 

No he wasnt

[quadzilla456]

whats so great about hitler he wasnt very big at all

Many of the meanest bastards are small. I know a few.

Neither was Napoleon, also a great fella

[pulling weight]

Hitler and even Napolean were of average height in the age in which they lived.
They probably look shorter than they actually were because both had stocky Central European bodies

[quadzilla456]

No he wasnt

And you say that why?

Compared to The Falcon though, they were twinks.

This is what happens when laymen misinterpret data.
This by no means indicates Hitler was part Jewish.
And even if it is the case that he is, then that would indicate a Jewish man orchestrated the Nazi party,
So Jews shouldn't be so eager to claim Hitler as one of their own

[pedro01]

yeah, it's still a load of shit though. it just further shows how far up their own arses these art type twats are.

anothe piece of his work, a piece of shit entitled, 'Orange, Red, Yellow',  went for $87million earlier in the year  

Fucking ridiculous.... Artists are laughing all the way to the bank. Painting must have taken what? 20 minutes?

Good Lord



Then, out of the blue, comes a moment of wit and whimsy: "Bull's Head" (1942), a sculpture made from a bicycle saddle and handlebars. At once both childlike and highly sophisticated in its simplicity, it stands as an assertion of the transforming power of the human imagination at a time when human values were under siege.

Funny that - to me it stands as a middle finger up to all the idiots buying any old crap because no-one has the balls to stand up amongst their arty peers and say "that's shite". or "Sa Merde"

THIS IS LIKE SELLING SOME OF MY BETTER POSTS FOR 10,000 DOLLARDS!

But it doesn't indicate he was not part Jewish either. The funding of Hitler is a topic that's not very popular in the US. Would like to see if Oliver Stone finally shines light on this topic with his "The Untold History of the United States".

Oh, and to the part in bold above, here's the definition for Holocaust:

"The term holocaust comes from the Greek word holókauston, an animal sacrifice offered to a god in which the whole (olos) animal is completely burnt (kaustos)."

So the gassing / burning of Jews in the Second World War are seen now by some as an "offering" to create Israel and demonize Germans and the White Race as a whole. Who better to impliment this con than another Half-Jew, Hitler?

looks like something I could do sober

Agreed. One study revealed:

If you’re looking for a cynical take on the art world, however, here’s your fodder: Even the art students preferred the child’s or animal’s painting over the professional’s-and judged it to be objectively better-30 to 40 percent of the time. And that’s even when they were labeled correctly.

Compare shit art like that to real art, like the Sistine Chapel

[GoneAway]

It's not so much about the painting as it is about the artist, IMO. It's a good painting but there are plenty of great paintings that sell for pittance compared to that.

This is how a real getbigger's room is decorated.
