To think that someone actually made a lucrative career out of the analogue version of this. I suppose it was one step above hanging a blank canvas with a pretentious caption underneath.
- profunctor 2y agoHave you seen them in real life? They are much more interesting in person.
- codingdave 2y agoHe did not make a lucrative career out of his painting. He was fairly poor... just famous. And not even that until the last few years of his life.

And: "He died of a heart attack on 28 April 1992, aged 82. He bequeathed his estate (then valued at £11 million) to his heir and sole legatee John Edwards." Sounds quite lucrative to me.
- codingdave 2y agoThat would totally prove your point if this post was about Francis Bacon. It isn't.
