Enjoyed it very much until I realized what other people watching this would end up doing. I knew absolutely nothing of this man and I'm glad that from the start they gave the impression something bad was coming. I was thrilled by his work to the point that I was picking spots on my body for places to put tattoos of his work. My impression of art was unknowingly similar to his but more so art critics I have not only never understood how to squares of different shades of white stands for anything nor The idea that you have groups of people who are trained specifically to separate people from art by claiming the curved line under what is supposed to represent a nose on a Picasso is different from a straight line under another thing that's a nose on a separate Picasso. To dumb it down further for idiots like myself it reminds me of people who claim they like super hot spicy food because a good meal to me is only truly excellent If your eyes are watering you have snot pouring out of your nose not to mention the pain you will endure when that meal is leaving your body. Both things are for status and much like everything else when people with tons of money are involved it's harder for people like myself to take part. I find it hard to believe this was Oog's (or whatever the French equivalent of Oog is) intention when he mixed urine and red clay to draw what he claims was a Mastodon or whatever giant beast that I didn't pay enough attention to remember now, that some pretentious jerk from a cave in a better part of the forest saying this is bad because it's not to scale or it's great because Oog is showing inner angst and it's not supposed to look like what he says it is. With the subjects age and his place if birth it was pretty easy to guess that what ever the issue about to be unleashed was centered around WW2 but I won't go into detail. But at the start I said that I had a feeling that something would happen and it did. Without details I'll just say that because he's a great artist most of the people involved in this almost completely excuse his words, beliefs and even some truly beautiful sculptures that the initial Inspiration for is less then good and with some downright evil. This idea of the artist living by different rules which is used to allow them in some instances be horrible people. One of the most disturbing claims by those Nazis or even those who today heinous acts is the claims of change but this only happens when they are exposed this man is no different and while he wasn't a Nazi his views are less than enlightened. It's much better than five stars by but I'm not sure how I explain my enjoyment with the people excusing him because of his art. Art is personal as is my view here
