Paging Dr. Freud...
 
Your grandson has made quite the name for his self.

What do you think about the painting? Is it beauty? Is it so grotesque it has an odd appeal? Is it just a lady taking a nap? Can you imagine being the muse and finding that your image has sold for that kind of $$?

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

A little more than Reubenesque, isn't it? Still, beauty being in the eye of the beholder...or maybe the beerholder...it would take more than a couple of brewskies to get me to lay down $33 mil on any painting, let alone one by an artist who's nowhere near dead yet ;)

I admire the model more than the artist. She is one very brave lady and I hope she'll be rewarded a little more hansomely than £33 a day now that the painting's been sold.

I'm very drawn to the picture, but as with most art, I can't imagine a spot for it in my house. Perhaps a postcard version on the fridge to remind me not to eat too much might be an idea......

I am quite sure those are not synonyms. Not homonyms either. Nor antonyms.

It is an interesting painting of someone he knows, nothing more, nothing less.

I'm quite sure 'perspective' is a noun. ;)

Oldfart 05-17-2008 08:47 PM

My Concise Oxford Dictionary says that, in English, perspective is a noun and an adjective.

I cannot find my Webster's American Dctionary.

Apparently Mr. Freud is not unaccustomed to controversy and/or outrage over his work, which may indicate a strong bloodline back to his famous grandfather. As to whether he is a fraud or not, I don't see any evidence that people have been coerced into spending ridiculous sums on his work...

PantyFanatic 05-17-2008 10:33 PM

exactly ;)
