Comments on Buy Art, Help Kids

My sister painted that first one for a girl scout project. We had to live with that until she went to college and discovered sex.

the most horrible garbage I have ever seen

the art turn off

better would be to do the paint by numbers, coat with brown varnish and pretend they were from the 15th century

put in that space above the toilet

What a terrific project! Surrealism is hard to carry off well, but this show is really something.

Brilliant.

Wow, all but 3 or 4 of the redone versions looked like crappy art from the 70s found in yard sales done by the landlords of would-be avant guardists who had abandoned it. The originals are for the most part either more genuinely surreal or subtle. Any cultural comment is more shallow than the original (not so say racist).

I'm making this comment just so those few other Stranger readers who see it the same way don't feel so alone. I know this is the dominant aesthetic at the Stranger and accept my knuckle-draggin' outsider status in this , and many other, areas.

#2 and #5: Different strokes for different folks...if you don't like it, you're entitled to your opinion...you don't have to defend it. You have the right.

BUT...For my opinion.

What a great, great, great idea...And, yes, these are some MAJOR artists...and I love how some of them did a lot to the paintings and some of them hardly anything...I want all of them...
