This is sure to cause controversy, but us it what art is all about?

Making us look...

What do you reckon, jen?

Love it?

I liked that, it was different from her other stuff.

Now, if only the artist had given him naked hair as well.

Just loooking at that report its not something Id want in my home but I dont see it as offensive . Although I can imagine he might find it a breach of his personal privacy as any of us would had we not given permission.

I can understand her viewpoint that it isnt what we pack in our pants that gives us power....

Frankly I find the painting quite good. I must admit her reason for doing it a bit of cliche'. (Imagine your audience naked to disable group power etc.) But I'm not offended and I doubt Trump will dislike the publicity.

I'm just grateful the artist didn't do one of Sanders or Hillary.

Even abstract should represent something, don't you think?

What does everyone think this is? I see a person walking alone in an isolated place. I'm not an expert and probably am wrong.

We have a security log, and it doesn't show anything being moved or deleted for this thread.

Could just be mixing up different threads because we're posting similar things across a few different ones lol we're kind of all over the place xD
