The story behind that shredded picture is actually pretty cool, as is the artist Banksy.

"That was me. I used to be cruel to my woman, and physically ? any woman. I was a hitter. I couldn’t express myself and I hit. I fought men and I hit women. That is why I am always on about peace, you see. It is the most violent people who go for love and peace. Everything’s the opposite. But I sincerely believe in love and peace. I am a violent man who has learned not to be violent and regrets his violence. I will have to be a lot older before I can face in public how I treated women as a youngster.”

Been binge watching the new Beatles Get Back doco (8 hours of it!), and even though it's edited to show the best of them I was surprised to see how friendly and positive John was through it all. Obviously pepped up on drugs but not what I expected at all. Surprisingly it's George who comes across as a bit of a dick, IMO. Ringo is a legend of course.

Not really sure why any of them are held in such high esteem. They were just singers. Off their face on mind altering substances. Why is John a legend ? He just sang songs ???

They were usually pretty good songs with reasonably good messages.

They were way ahead of anyone else back in the day. John and Paul were proper artists, especially when making songs together. Broke musical boundaries with harmonies and chords, played around a lot with music/ lyrics, changed the world forever. That kind of thing. And "usually pretty good songs with reasonably good messages."

Yea john Lennon just sang songs....
Between 1968 and 1972, Lennon and Ono collaborated on many records, including a trilogy of avant-garde albums, his solo debut John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band, and the international top 10 singles "Give Peace a Chance", "Instant Karma!", "Imagine" and "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)". Moving to New York City in 1971, his criticism of the Vietnam War resulted in a three-year attempt by the Richard Nixon administration to deport him. Lennon's deportation order was overturned in 1975, after the Gerald Ford administration showed little interest in continuing the deportation attempt. Lennon and Ono separated from 1973 to 1975, a period that included chart-topping collaborations with Elton John ("Whatever Gets You thru the Night") and David Bowie ("Fame"). Following a five-year hiatus, Lennon returned to music in 1980 with the Ono collaboration Double Fantasy. He was shot and killed by the Beatles fan Mark David Chapman, who was highly critical of Lennon's comments on religion and the Beatles, three weeks after the album's release. As a performer, writer or co-writer, Lennon had 25 number one singles in the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Double Fantasy, his best-selling album, won the 1981 Grammy Award for Album of the Year. In 1982, Lennon won the Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music. In 2002, Lennon was voted eighth in a BBC history poll of the 100 Greatest Britons. Rolling Stone ranked him the fifth-greatest singer and thirty-eighth greatest artist of all time. He was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame (in 1997) and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (twice, as a member of the Beatles in 1988 and as a solo artist in 1994).https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Lennon |

so, I just checked. It was supposed to be a sewing kit in the box but another person substituted a vibrator and grandma didn't know.
Very funny...but what does it have to do with art? |

At least that Warhol 'Monroe' is somewhat pleasing to the eye. It's ok. Not great. Not horrible. This is my test of artistic appreciation - if someone gave me that painting and I had no idea it had any value would I hang it up on a wall somewhere in the house or in the shed? Yes I would. Which is more than I can say for almost all the others I've posted here.

disgusting waste of money.
Just think of all the good that amount of moolah could do. this made me want to puke, too... The jersey that Argentina's Diego Maradona wore when he scored the "Hand of God" goal against England in the 1986 World Cup has sold for a world-record price of $9.28 million at an auction at Sotheby's in London. |

It's only a waste of money if the next filthy rich connoisseur doesn't pay you more in a few years.

That was probably another of Scommo's pentecostal minions assigned to try and get even with Macron.
