Art Is a Lonely Hunter II
Click on image to view enlarged (recommended). One can't help the feeling, after visiting a few upper end art galleries, that it's all in the "mission statement." Here's an excerpt from one of my favorites (I'm not making this up): "One day while painting I was struck by the beauty of the left-over paint on my palette. I immediately started to draw and paint individual little sections of this paint mass.... working with this paint became a meditation on the overlooked details of life, on seeing the world in a grain of sand."
And another: "My work is the result of cultural consumption and equalizing regurgitation. It is also a means of investigating and balancing the psychological meandering brought on by the deficit of structure."
'Nuff said.

Somehow Mr. T does not look quite so smug at this reception however am sure that it will not take long for him to be convinced that he is the source of the paintings. Love the commentary.
PS: Glad that Mr. T at least paid the little tyke. I thought that he would just take them. Is he going soft in his old age? (grin)
Oh, I think he undoubtedly considered a snatch, Lee, but probably feared being caught if the kid started to wail. You can be sure he put his own signature on the paintings and increased the price a few hundred-fold.
