Agnes by Tony Cochran for April 20, 2024

one thing for sure: that was too savage for my mind to digest

Surprising that the uneducated Agnes even heard of those abstractionists.

I think it would be a puddle or pool of paste.

Doesn’t it take more than one person to canoodle?

I have boxes of works much like the paintings of all those artists, saved in my attic, and done when my 3 sons were in kindergarden…

My son the Auctioneer says “Ugly sells”. and he’s usually right. Maybe this time Agnes will succeed.

Don’t let the Censors see the “Canoodling of Poll​ock”… ☺

Come to think of it, I’d like to be a little too heavy on the savagery of de Kooning.

One of the two has a vivid imagination. Which one?

A smiling lady usually works.

I’ve seen a whole lot worse on display…..

Trout’s description is quite detailed. :)

Bears a superficial resemblance to Picasso’s “Guernica.”

There has been a surge in sales of duck paste since then

This was good. I know of these painters named except Neuman, Robert S. Googled Neumann and got some others as well. The problem with abstract, Abstract expressionist and anti-abstract expressionist is the paintings don’t translate to print. Seeing them in person can be, for some, very different. Seeing the paintings in a book or online doesn’t touch.

Also comparing a Jackson P. with a ‘J.P.’ look a like, there is a difference, there is a depth that the copy cats can’t achieve.

The names she checks were perpetrators of a massive practical joke on the snooty “Well, I understand it” critics, gallery owners, and collectors; “Let’s see if we can do something so stupid they’ll admit they’re clueless!”

It is the only logical explanation for abstract expressionism – but alas, is still influencing artists who weren’t in on the joke.

Agnes’ apparent knowledge of art surprises me — usually her imaginative endeavors have little connection to reality.

I gotta eat more Reeses!!!!! :)

Take it to the MOMA.

reminds me of guernica… ☺

Looks like a compilation of the toys in Agnes’ room.

Its well done if she can see all that.
