It most certainly is!

Value aside, no Pollock would ever enter my home.
Talk about shaking paint on cardboard...

I actually like the Rodgers with that circular cut-off.
It has a certain flow over it, and would, contrary to that hideous Pollock, absolutely be welcome here!

As an example of how idiotic the art-world can get at times, a little story from the "fall-exibition" here in Norway.
That is the most prestigious we have.

One year the jury awarded a price to one of the radiators on the wall!
I'm not kidding!
Another year a piece consisting of 10 Tampax dipped in paint, hanging from a 2 by 2, and splashed onto the canvas made the finals.

But perhaps the best one was a round wooden ball with a couple hundred nails in it at the top.

It was called Bjartmar Gjerde, a well known politician at the time.
He was known for his half-inch length hedgehog hair.

Art can be a wonderful thing, and important in society.
Sometimes though, the elite goes overboard and makes a mockery of the whole thing
