This was good. I know of these painters named except Neuman, Robert S. Googled Neumann and got some others as well. The problem with abstract, Abstract expressionist and anti-abstract expressionist is the paintings don’t translate to print. Seeing them in person can be, for some, very different. Seeing the paintings in a book or online doesn’t touch.
Also comparing a Jackson P. with a ‘J.P.’ look a like, there is a difference, there is a depth that the copy cats can’t achieve.
The names she checks were perpetrators of a massive practical joke on the snooty “Well, I understand it” critics, gallery owners, and collectors; “Let’s see if we can do something so stupid they’ll admit they’re clueless!”
It is the only logical explanation for abstract expressionism – but alas, is still influencing artists who weren’t in on the joke.

Surprising that the uneducated Agnes even heard of those abstractionists.

Doesn’t it take more than one person to canoodle?

I have boxes of works much like the paintings of all those artists, saved in my attic, and done when my 3 sons were in kindergarden…

My son the Auctioneer says “Ugly sells”. and he’s usually right. Maybe this time Agnes will succeed.

Come to think of it, I’d like to be a little too heavy on the savagery of de Kooning.

Bears a superficial resemblance to Picasso’s “Guernica.”

Agnes’ apparent knowledge of art surprises me — usually her imaginative endeavors have little connection to reality.
