Le Rêve by Pablo Picasso.
In October 2006, Steve Wynn, the owner, accidentally elbowed a hole in the middle of the canvas.


Price before: $139 million. Price after fixing the hole in the canvas: $85 million.

Ouch lol

Wynn proceeded to claim the $54 million difference with the virtual selling price from his Lloyd's of London insurers, which would have paid of (most of) the cost of buying the painting in the first place. When the insurers balked, Wynn sued them in January 2007. The case was eventually settled out of court in March 2007.

ITT philistine idiots who do not get Picasso and don't know he essentially mastered academic realism at 14, then he realized he wanted to find new ways of expression, his analysis of objects and their abstraction is utterly amazing. So yeah, leave Pablo alone, he's earned every bit of fame he gets.

All the girls would turn the color of an avacado when he drove down the street in his El Dorado. He was only 5'3", girls could not resist his stare.

Pablo Picasso was never called an asshole.

Someone explain to me why art is art and why some pieces of art are valued more than other pieces. I don't get art. Never have and probably never will.

I was at my friend's apartment once and hanging on the wall was a poster of Klimt's The Kiss. I pointed at it and went
"Hey look, that's the piece that Elfen Lied had in its opening." I was just pointing it out, wondering if he noticed.

At that point his brother's wife (Him, his brother and his brother's wife all share the same apartment) spoke up from the living room and said to me in this arrogant as shit voice
"It's 'The Kiss'. It was around looong before any anime."

And I was like
"I was just pointing out that I SAW it in the anime. I wasn't trying to say it CAME from the anime."

Then she rolled her eyes and went back to watching to TV.

Ever since then I have hated artfags with a passion. Someone explain to me 'art' so I can stop hating her and become a nicer person.

Then I looked up "The Kiss" and it turns out it was made in, like, 1907-1908 and the first Japanese piece of animation was 1907 or something.

The Kiss wasn't ANCIENT or anything. Damn bitch.

Someone explain to me why anime fags value anime. I don't get anime. Never have and probably never will.

I was on /hr/ once and some dumbass told a story about a painting he had seen in an anime.

In the weeaboo's story, he was reprimanded for his retarded comment. Apparently it made him the bitter person he is today.

Even before then, I hated people like him with a passion. This incident just reinforces my hatred.

You sound real open-minded. Maybe put your time to better use than hating people who happen to like Japanese cartoons?

Picasso is overrated. He's the most famous painter in the world but when I look at his paintings I can't understand why this blocky shit seems to be valued over all other forms of art.

exactly. his style sucks.
why? because you have to interpret them by looking at shapes / colors, which just distracts and makes you unable to concentrate on important things, what's more, you can't think of any sensible things when you look just at shapes and colors. (more below)
what's important then? composition and poses of people, or (more below)
so? i see nothing worth in picassos abstract arts.

but it does not mean that i like other arts. 80-90% of them are crap. again, why? oh well , let's see. how many times have you seen a photo or artwork which, when you saw it, suddenly made you think of some story, for example - i don't know, let's imagine some traffic scene: a man with gloomy face, and ppl going by - what comes to your mind? actually i think about a man, which just lost his job, his wife rejected him, in other words, his life became ruin. and ppl going by and not paying attention at him would be a metaphor of world novadays. that's it: good artwork, really good artwork should tell a story. if it does not, it should at least create some feelings. and now tell me how many artworks work like this.
back to picasso: his drawings do not change your feelings (excluding 'what the hell is this?..'), and there's no sensible (at least for me) interpretations of them.

Picasso's work is more technical that what you expect. He wasn't trying to elicit an emotion from the viewer, he was playing around with the ideas of shapes, spaces and motion. For example, his cubist work was how we perceive three-dimensional objects in a two-dimensional space.

I think your disconnect comes from this idea that to see notable art, any notable art, will somehow make one "cultured", like you're supposed to magically become a better person for seeing it. You disprove that. It's not Picasso's fault you don't like his work, I guess it's really kind of art for artists.

At any rate, the way you dismiss someone's work as worthless because *you* don't see value in it is pretty small-minded. You're either an idiot or a poor troll.

Yes it is art, because it's essential Picassos personal interpretation and reimagination of space, form and color, reassembled reality to fit and support the motives he painted.
