ART: PICASSO DEFACED


If you haven't heard another Picasso was defaced by spray paint. I'm an "Artist" -- I hate the term -- and years ago someone stepped on one of my pictures and put a crease in the paper. Instantly I was enraged, all the hours I put into that picture and now the paper has a crease in it! 

For those of you that aren't artistically inclined, we know every stroke we've ever made in our work. Every hour spent pulling that image out form the paper or canvas is deeply personal.

The picture above is not just shapes rendered with paint. It's a piece of Picasso's soul. The Truth is, if Picasso were here he'd be in jail for 1st, 2nd and 3rd degree murder (all on the same person). You might think that's a bit drastic, but he'd go nuts on the vandal.

I don't think this person should go to jail and waste tax payers money. But they should have to pay a huge fine, have to register as an art offender and get a punched right in the face.
