Gommeuse was sexually charged slang of the time for café-concert singers and their songs.

And Ann said 67 mil, damn!. That shit doesn't look like it's worth 2 quarters.
It's not the quality of the painting that's being purchased. It's the name of the painter. Being able to say you own a Picasso.

How can I get some someone to say they own a Snooth? I can't draw,let alone paint, but for 67 mil, I would paint something way better than that.
You can't, for all practical purposes. I was an art major in college. Pretty much a waste of time. The art world makes no sense. None at all.

The interesting part of this story is who sold this painting, the Kochs.
They flip art, I hear it's a lucrative business.
Koch owns the only two authenticated tintypes of Billy The Kid.
(I watched a documentary on the second photo recently.)

"Sense" has nothing to do with it.
Stroking the egos of a class of snobbish elites who decide what to elevate in order to retain the title of smart and witty is the aim of the artist; producing something that he and his friends can rub into the face of the average man as an affront to his common sense is what they are about; they employ the tactic of exclusion.
Dood, they would so exclude you until you were in jail for murder and writing rap lyrics which they would then wax poetically on. You get bonus acclaim for being a cop killer.
Happy hunting!

Then you will never be rewarded by the intelligentsia for your art.
They didn't appreciate P Diddy until he had enough money and audience to have a political influence...

Jimmy owes me money.
I had to pay for vinyl, cassette, 8-track and MP3.
I should have pirated the latter.

There is a small museum in Barcelona which contains some of his Juvenilia. At 15 or 16 he was extraordinarily talented. Then he worked out what the market wanted.

Not really. You just had to exercise the ol' imagination more...
Soon it would be running away from you.
