    That’s because his sketches of the thieves aren’t much help.

    Packson Jollock One time I saw a Full Fathom 6.

    Piblo Pacasso

    Waud Magner Since she was a tattoo artist, this is a trio of artist facts.

    Take care and may God bless.

    Waud Magner got her first tattoo where (not location on her body, but rather from where she obtained it)?

    What’s so special about Piblo Pacasso’s paintings compared to Gincent van Vogh’s?

    RBIoN must have gotten ahold of the book 101 Fun Facts About the Art World.

    “Pollock has embedded nails, tacks, buttons, keys, coins, a torn cigarette, matches, and paint-tube tops into the surface – witnesses of the accidental nature of the ‘painting’ process and of the legitimacy of the trouser-pocket paraphernalia – as three-dimensional textural agents to amplify the signifying potential of the image.”

    Picasso did say “good artists borrow, great artists steal.” (Or, did he steal that saying?)

    I’ll never understand the fascination for Pollock. Or Bansky…

    I understand that if they catch you stealing a Picasso, they put you in a small, barred cube.

    And that is why Pollock’s “paintings” are so easily forged. Personally I feel he was just a person with a dynamic personality the was able to con a wealthy sponsor, not really a artist.

    That’s because Pablo had an insane amount of work.

    First known? No doubt women have been tattooing in the Americas since long before Columbus.

    Actually, in North American native tribes who practiced tattooing (quite a few), it was often the women who did the tattooing.
