    Bob Ross.
    What a hidden treasure his show really was.
    You think you're just going to watch some guy paint a little scene, and pretty soon whether you realize it or not, your anger, sadness, depression whatever negative crap you're dealing with at the time, has slowly started to melt away, if just for a short while.

    High brow critics pooh poohed his paintings as tacky and pointless.

    I can't paint stick figures, but I know this: what those critics missed was that Bob WAS the art, he WAS the painting.

    When so much of the art world is nothing but shock show horror, Bob's method, manner, grace and humility is as invigorating to the soul as the paintings of the greatest masters.

    Here's hoping and praying that he's still painting on...

    I couldn't agree more.
    Very well said.

    True enough.

    It does not take any talent to duct tape a banana to the wall, drop a crucifix in a jar of your own piss or smear menstrual blood or $#@! on a canvas.

    Yes, those last two are for real...

    I don't doubt it for a moment. (In fact, $#@! on a canvas is just a far less "clever" variation on what has gone before.)

    Even velvet Elvises and dogs playing poker have some minuscule aesthetic merit, unlike any of this (quite literal [1]) crap.

    Just like truly great music, most truly great visual art was created before 1900 or so ...



    [1] I was about to say "too often quite literal," but that would imply that there might be some frequency which is not "too often."

    It won't take very long to get them home but it won't be overnight either but Iraq says they can't stay and they are coming home just like Trump said.
