ok, was browsing the BBC world news and this item caught my eye
BBC NEWS | Europe | Painting meets its femme fatale
seemingly some nutter is up on charges in France for defacing a piece of contempory art ,worth nearly £1 million by leaving a lipstick smear on it .........the item is described as an 'immaculate white canvas' and this woman kissed it , leaving a lipstick smear ........so someone please tell me how an unpainted canvas is supposedly worth one million £'s ?
Maybe I am a philistine but my idea of 'art' is a Baby Jesus and Madonna , or a Lowry, even the 'Jade Girl' by the russian guy has more artistic merit than an 'immaculate white canvas'.
So who are these folks and what qualifications do they have who set themselves up as arbiters of taste and public art ........
responses expected from at least two of our Accy web members
