I remember some show (maybe Penn and Teller?) where they had a painting in an art gallery and an art critic was asked to give an appraisal of a piece and she gave a good number in the thousands. The person then asked "what if I told you it was painted by a gorilla?" And the appraiser said "oh, $200." I may be getting some of that wrong, but that was the gist.

Thanks now I'm hungry

I think this probably means “painted by an animal”, although I might pay an extra couple grand if the pig would actually handle the accounting of it all for me too
paxnor
he looks sooooo chuffed!!!
andydicktracymorganfairchild
According to my research chuffed means "very pleased."
e.g. "I'm dead chuffed to have won"
frenofafren
That'll do pig.

Friendly reminder that the art market is just money laundering for the 1%.

But why was Picasso in a slaughter house???

I went to his "studio" in Franschhoek, South Africa and watched him work. Pig-tastic!

Some Pig

Biologically speaking, all human artists are also animals.

I was amazed to see art by elephants that depicted clearly recognizable objects.

Nobody tell Pigcasso about the ear thing.
Easykehl
I think you’re thinking of Vincent Van Hog
Buddisvata
The OTHER ear thing.

A pig gets paid more than I do in a single painting. I hate this planet.
hnngh
Swell pig.
Trelis
That isn't very good, I could do better. Pig should find another job.
Whointhewhaaaa
Bacon?

With a pig that talented, you only eat him a little at a time

OMG, that joke 😂

And in the art world that means Ka-ching!

Will there bacon at the funeral?
winternal
Shame on you. Yes.

Pigs in a blanket would be more fitting

He is really bringing home the bacon

If you find this piggy cute, please consider reducing meat from diet :) Farm animals are just as cute as cats and dogs!
ThomasThundersword
As someone who has and loves all animals. nah, meat is tasty.
johnwilliams123
I love meat too! But I love animals and when you love someone/something, you want what’s best for them, not for you. You set them free from your own needs. That’s maturity, empathy, and kindness 😊 If you don't want to be born into slavery only to be killed at the end so someone can enjoy their dietary preference, they don't want that either.
I’m not perfect so I still eat meat, but I try to eat less when I can
CyxaBlyat
Okay no lie though that art's kinda good. Like it's visually appealing.
bekindtoanimals
It is!

I gotta admit, I can't do any better.

A lively palette combined with energetic rhythm and confident mark-making offer an opportunity for humans to explore the porcine condition at the farmyard/studio interface.
thedarkcanuck
Give me his snout print as a signature and I'd put that up
paxnor
it feels like joy...
DawnofAzazel
Better than any Jackson Pollock I've ever seen.

And here i was wondering how they tricked someone into paying 20000 pounds for a painting by a pig. My mistake carry on.
CheesecakePi
I disagree, but that's the thing about art- it's personal and subjective.
vcgetdown
I also disagree, it's just a pig or person wiping randomly.
MatrimBloodyCauthon
You're personal and subjective
