    Your highness, this is the man who groped me from behind every time I bent over to tend the fire!

    Looks like he uses the length of his sword to make up for size of his genitals… Prepare him for the unkindest cut!

    What the… is going on in this painting? We have a half naked guy yanking his sword, a woman dressed in combat gear poking him, while a dude is sitting on a cheap plinth and the background drapes are all falling down.

    On a hot, humid day in Corinth his majesty spake from his plinth/“You’re condemned, in one hour/ to meet Minotaur/ in the bowels of the Labyrinth”. (I just wanted to see if it could be done- it doesn’t have to make sense.)

    The woman is surprised to find a laundry instruction tag sewn on back of the guy’s neck when he’s not wearing a shirt. What could it signify?

    all have info, or links that point to more info, about this artist (again, the askart.com can be read in full for free on Fridays), perhaps in addition to what’s pointed to by the title URL. This is the first work by him used here.

    It’s at the Smithsonian American Art Museum. It’s not on view. I can see why! This thing is just plain bad.
