Hey, ,art is in the eye of the beholder.

Yup.

I'm reminded of what King George the Fifth is supposed to have said
when we was touring the then-new Queen Mary, under fitting-out, and
didn't like the art nouveau paintings that hung in the ship. He
suggested giving them to the blind school.

I know lots of people get their rocks off on this sort of stuff, and
that's fine, so I'll leave it there. Just don't say it's great or even
good 'art'.

Personally I'm not gonna throw rocks. I recognize that it's not the sort of
work that artists aspire to these days and that the skill level demonstrated
is just one step in the training, but it's vastly beyond anything that I'm
ever likely to accomplish.

However if I had grown up in walking distance of the museums of London I
might feel differently.
