I saw in Madeline that French cartoon, mocking about how the kids can make a painting and she forgot where she put her painting when she was waiting to see "Mona Lisa" at Louvre, and then the next day there is a news about how people talking about unknow painting that they found in the museum and think it was made by Matis coz she just use "M" as her ID

Cubism is rather different from non-representational art. Cubism has subjects that are recognizable as people, buildings, or objects, but they are abstracted into flat, distorted shapes. Non-representational art, which is the kind people more usually make fun of, has no recognizable subject, but is judged by things like balance, use of color, and internal logic. I'm no fan of either one, actually, though I did a few of both kinds in my art classes in school (since, thankfully, lost!). As far as cubism goes, I agree with Corky Sherwood on Murphy Brown when, in trying to improve her art education, gave up when she encountered Marcel Duchamp's Nude Descending a Staircase: "I don't get it. Where's the nude? Where's the staircase? They might as well have called it Fish Eating a Cheeseburger!" :) She apparently never saw the equally famous photograph of Duchamp descending a staircase in the same manner.

Although I get why people like abstract art, I'm the old fashioned sort that thinks such things could just as easily be painted by elephants or monkeys. :atroll:

BTW... If u already complete your Covid-19 vaccine, u won't be able to make that survivor pandemic tattoo,if u afraid with needles, right?

Oh, dear, I never thought of that. I'm not due for my second shot for a couple of weeks yet, but yeah, the tattoo needles would really freak me out. Maybe I could get one of those decal-type tattoos. :atroll:
