Jean Michel Banquet



This painting recently sold for £85 million in USA.
How tastes have changed.

His other Artwork brings $ Thousnnds and he is famous Worldwide especially in U S A.

The Young Artist Jean Michel Banquet who painted very modern paintings died age 27 from drug abuse.

It is certainly different.

Blimey, as you say it is certainly different!

I wouldn't have bid 85p though, not my sort of thing I'm afraid.

it is amazing what different tastes people have
Apparently they see all kinds of messages in his art

It reminds me of Picasso,which I have now got use to.

And Jean was self taught. whereas Picasso could do very good Classical painting and beautiful drawings as he went to art school.

If Art Critics like your work, and broadcast that it is brilliant, You have it made, financially as well.

Re: Jean Michel Banquet

First thing I thought of when I saw this painting was drug abuse. I can't imagine anyone wanting this hung on their wall. Pain dispair torture is all I see. Waste of a young life, so sad.

Re: Jean Michel Banquet

I find it strange that it's worth money , it's horrible . Is his other art work nicer , I'll take a look on the Internet I think .

Edited to add , I've looked at his other work it's just as awful in my opinion
