art

I am a terrible artist.  Any animal I try to draw looks like a fat cat with stumpy legs.  My flowers look like they've been squashed by stampeding elephants.  My bowls of fruit look more like a still life of play-doh.  This is probably why I'm so fascinated by amazing works like these...

Vallaruis, France.  1949.  A documentary film was made of Picasso at his home painting.  This film used the footage of Picasso painting on glass while the camera films from the other side.  This is a great way to watch the artist at work...

Every now and then, a lost work of art from one of history's greatest artists turns up in a garage sale or secondhand store. Some lucky buyer pays just mere pennies for something that's potentially worth thousands or more. This time, the store itself is the one profiting off a famous painting.
