Board 8 > Some guy came into a museum here in Houston and spray painted on a Picasso.

(+) Yeah! (+)

The random bystanders gave such awful commentary.

"It was cool how he just walked up and painted it and walked off."

"I just think that if you desecrate art...and...you should be prosecuted."

"It just doesn't look good. It looks ugly."

More like PicASSo.

It's probably an improvement.

They just leave priceless paintings out in the open? There aren't covers?

I could take a dump on a Picasso and it'd make it better tbqh.

I respect the man who did this.

The Rapist Killer would have kicked this guy in the shins and left him on the floor for the authorities to make a decision on his fate.

They should imprison him and force him to do Newsweek cover art.

Not sure.

It looked pretty stupid so it could be any of them.

No but seriously, if it wasn't protected at all it was probably either a ****ty painting nobody cares about or a fake because the actual is worth too much.

They're morons then.

Because as far as I know security in museums isn't so tight, you could totally enter with stuff to **** up paintings easy if you wanted to.

Do you go to many museums, ayuyu? I've never been to one that had many--if any-- covers over their works. I've been to the Louvre, and of the works I saw only the Mona Lisa was covered, and that's mainly to protect against camera flashes. Most museums just make guests check their bags at the entrance, have security guards in every room, and have sensors that beep if you get too close. If you cover a painting then you'd have to fight glare, and you wouldn't be able to see the texture of the paint nearly as well.

not necessarily. I went to a dalí exhibit at the smithsonian and they were all just out there

Yeah I have been to lots of exhibits where the paintings were not protected (or at least not all of them or to varying degrees)

--
http://img.imgcake.com/newaccountjpget.jpg

I've been to quite a lot. Not places where they showed paintings though, because those don't interest me in the slightest.

Well I've been at one and I don't think I even saw one security guard. Unless they're really stealthy.

well, it really depends. the mona lisa is behind glass (and I think it may have its own guard)

The Mona Lisa is in a class of its own though.

It's the freaking Mona Lisa.

I'd rather look at a good picasso than the mona lisa.

the best thing about the mona lisa is the background

--

I've seen the Mona Lisa in person and it didn't really strike me or anything, I just see a pretty standard portrait, and I don't find Renaissance era portraiture particularly interesting.

yeah, that's why the background is realy the only thing interesting to me. it is surprisingly fantastical and not realistic.
