All the fucking fuss over umbrella art.

do what he likes with it.
If some silly fucking artist wants to paint something to sell by what
ever method he should be able to accept whatever happens to it.
Personally I think all art is overvalued and it's only due to a world
full of wealthy fuckwits that it is all overpriced - spending a
'spare' million bucks on saving lives must be more satisfying than
having a bit of almost unnoticable 'paint on canvas' hanging on the
wall.
What the fuck am I on about? - Adam Parore thinking about selling his
charity auction art.

"all art overvalued" you have to be kidding. Some art is very highly value
when the artist has achieved fame which more often than not is after they
are dead. But contemporary art, if artists are lucky enough to sell their
work is not at all overpriced. Many artists struggle to survive on their
art alone and that does not mean that their work is not good, just not
recognised yet. Many artists are talented and skilled with many years study
and experience. What would the world be without art?

Couldn't he afford canvas? He must have known that every time the umbrella
was opened and shut the paint would start to fall off. It would have been
more sensible to paint the "art" in bleach.

Ah, but maybe the decay is part of the art! Or maybe it's that the
owner is forced to either keep the umbrella forever open! See the
genius? No, of course not. We're what artists like this call
'uncultured' and 'ignorant,' because we haven't yet mastered that other
fine art of inventing deep subtleties that we then pretend to understand.

Paora, as an artist, I have to agree with you. Parore was trying to
preserve the work, not destroy it. It was his to do with as he
pleased. If he'd wanted to, he could have set the damned ugly thing on
fire. His right. THEN what would the "art world" have to say?

Churchill's wife destroyed a fine portrait of him, didn't she, because it
showed him as a rather tired elderly man. That was real art though, and
deserved a place in the National Gallery or the Tate, for posterity.
Fortunately there are photographs of it.
Perhaps it would have been more tactful for the artist to paint him like the
famous portrait of Napoleon, on a horse with a red cape billowing around.
