There Are Things I'll Never Understand
Billionare "hedge fund investor" (I've never been sure exactly what that is) Steven Cohen has paid Las Vegas casino owner Steven Wynn more that $100 million for two paintings: Van Gogh's Peasant Woman Against a Background of Wheat (1890) and Paul Gauguin's (who?) Bathers (1902).
(Click on the painting's name to see them)

More money than sense?
Oh, Gauguin and his islander nudies...he was a dirty old bugger, you know. Hmm...going to start collecting yourself, Barry? lol
WHAT! I gather from reading this blog that the author is a professional person with a fair amount of education and intelligence. And you never heard of Paul Gauguin? Do you get into Ft. Worth often? There's an outstanding museum located there. Sometime between Dec. 18, 2005-Mar. 26, 2006 stroll inside the Kimbell Art Museum and buy a ticket for the exhibition being showcased for that time frame. It is titled GAUGUIN AND IMPRESSIONISM. You won't be disappointed.
I think I am going to start giving my cat a paintbrush then selling the paintings on ebay.. Amazing what strokes of a brush can produce.
i wouldn't pay $2 for those things.
Hmmm, I gather an appreciation of the arts isn't a strong trait among some Wise Countians.
THE PAINTINGS WERE NICE BUT FOR THAT KINDA MONEY I WOULD RATHER BUY A REMINGTON OR A CHARLES FRACE OR AN ORIGINAL INDIAN LARRY ANOTHER GREAT ARTIST THAT HAS PASSED ON TO BUT THEN AGIAN ART BEAUTY IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER AND SOME WILL LIKE THE ART MENTIONED IN THIS BLOG WHILE OTHERS WONT THATS WHAT MAKES US WHO WE ARE ARE DIFFERENCES N TASTE ART MUSIC JOBS CARS ETC HEY AND BY THE WAY COMMENT 4 U I HATE TO POINT THIS OUT TO YOU BUT WE ALL CAME INTO THIS BUTT NAKED SO WHEN YOU SAY BUNCH OF NUDIES REMEMBER WE WERE ONCE A BUNCH OF NUDIES TO LOL
I would rather the masterpieces be in a museum than private collections, so everyone could enjoy them.
