Now we know who puts stars on all the thread! He's willing to smear star juice on his own thread, he's probably willing to smear it on other threads!!
Keep that star juice away from me...

That Van Gogh looks like something a 5th grader did. I know it is worth millions, but it is just a bad painting. Much like 99.5 % of Picasso's work.  If someone gave me this painting I would stick it in the closet until I could sell it.

I waiting for the Swedish Bikini team to bring my 100 million lottery prize and the Picasso at the same time. I will call you when they show up! It should be any day now. Should I buy a lottery ticket to increase the odds?

Daniel is correct. The impact of most paintings is reduced by a minimum of 50% with even in the very best reproductions. And so is Glen. The .5% of Picasso's life work is tremendous. Snipe, per usual, is presenting his wrong opinion. In fine art, there are at least three dimensions to consider when learning to appreciate it. One is the techinical aspect, another is the emotional and/or cognitive-the 'meaning', the third is context. All fine art must be appreciated within its historical context, and within the context of the artist's life. So there.

Don't forget the frame... that's very important, too.

Art is like porn. I can't define it, but I know it when I see it. And I know what is NOT art. I have seen a child's finger painting that looks just like some multi-million dollar "art". Just because some art critic says that is valuable and wonderful does not mean squat to me. It is just his opinion. Most of Picasso’s work is junk in my opinion. But that is just my opinion. I will never spend my money on any of his work. That will make that same difference to the world of art as me not shopping at Wal-Mart. Zero.

The art critics do not determine value. People with more money than brains do that. At one point Picasso had to stop signing checks because they became more valuable than what the checks were written for just because they had his signature on it. So there is a complete disconnect between the value of art and it's esthetic dimensions. I would venture that most speculative art is stored away in vaults and not being looked at yet still gaining value.
