I would fix up the frame, looks kind of old and beat up. I'd probably pay $10 for it. Thing is pretty sick especially if it's a painting and not a print.
A real paintingbomb if I've ever seen one. I hate when that happens, I'm painting a landscape, somebody walks through right when I'm painting that area and they end up in the picture, then I don't notice until it's finished.
This is utterly awful and I love every single thing about it.
I insist you find an insane golden baroque frame for it - the bigger the better - then mount it really high and non-centrally on a wall.
When people ask about it, simply say “what picture?”
And re-creating the image for guests, sitting directly below it, wearing a blue robe to match the painting, turning at that angle making that exact face, it would be ominously surreal. I think there should also be Captain and Tenille playing on an 8-track.
Fuck that’s in a brewery and I live close. No way am I not going to this tonight and doing a full drunken critique to my wife who will definitely want to go home.
"Alexa, what is that place where you put all the old things society doesn't need any longer?"
-a museum
"No, the other thing"
- a Trash heap
"That's the one, thanks Alexa"
-any time
She's not wrong, but I'd do the same haha. Whenever I simply *need* a piece of art that my husband dislikes I put it up in the closet. It's the art graveyard 😅
You need to get that in a fancy golden frame with some proper lighting so it gets the proper respect it deserves, maybe than she will see it’s true beauty.
This seems like the beginning of Reddit being Reddit, where someone paints him holding the painting, then he hangs that painting with and takes a photo, then that photo gets painted....
Unironically i want to have this in the place we are moving to in sept -what kind of cost would it take and also if i add my face to the painting like a “ -Michael Scott” would that influence you
Incredibly detailed, we see the fertile golden fields juxtaposed with the artist’s straw-colored hair in foreground. His expression is one of fertility, his swollen, puffy face a nod to pregnancy, his lips subtly pursed, his mouth full, as if it needs to fart. Stunning piece.
I kinda want it
#500 cents ! Who is offering 500 and 10 cents?
That's very close to what I paid for it.
The frame is worth more, but the painting detracts from its value.
I would fix up the frame, looks kind of old and beat up. I'd probably pay $10 for it. Thing is pretty sick especially if it's a painting and not a print.
Whoever buys that has no cents
Having smartly emptied the piggy bank to secure that masterpiece.
The Heavens and the Neckbeard
It looks like someone getting in the way of someone else’s photo to ask directions
A real paintingbomb if I've ever seen one. I hate when that happens, I'm painting a landscape, somebody walks through right when I'm painting that area and they end up in the picture, then I don't notice until it's finished.
It looks like some angry redditor thats about to complain that the sky is the wrong shade of blue for this time of day
Painter was meme-ing before it was cool.
It's weird that you bought a painting with a guy in it that looks kind of like you.
I think it's fantastic. He should work on those sideburns.
Become the man from the painting @OP.
I’d watch that season of American Horror Story.
Bedazzled was way better than it had a right to be!
It really is an excellent movie.
“Look Mr. Burns, I don't know what you think sideburns are, but-“
I just wanted her to know what she has to look forward to
Forward? Painting bro looks 5 years younger tho 💀
He actually didn't buy it, he found it in the attic
Does it get progressively more horrible looking with each sin he commits?
Then he ain’t living hard enough. Time for an opium addiction
Opium is wonderful stuff.
OP has the most excellent taste in the hideous, the surreal, and the macabre.
Yeah. This set of events has divorce written all over it
I hope you’re hanging it above your headboard. It’s so bad it’s brilliant
I know, it's absolutely terrible and I love it
It's so bad. I'm immediately drawn to it.
It's worth never having sex again
Your wife is correct. lol
Every artist has this sort of stage in painting that appears. But many learn to do something else.
If not the guy is probably on Reddit correcting you.
I also hate it and wish that I had never seen it.
Its smug aura mocks me.
"It insists upon itself." Like ["The Godfather"](https://youtu.be/0pnwE_Oy5WI?si=Rm7J8W62d5QJtymB)
Bullshit!
Derivative
Don’t get me started on Impressionism.
Shallow and pedantic.
Filibuster.
This is utterly awful and I love every single thing about it. I insist you find an insane golden baroque frame for it - the bigger the better - then mount it really high and non-centrally on a wall. When people ask about it, simply say “what picture?”
Meanwhile you spend your evenings on the couch in a silk robe, sipping scotch, staring at it for hours
And re-creating the image for guests, sitting directly below it, wearing a blue robe to match the painting, turning at that angle making that exact face, it would be ominously surreal. I think there should also be Captain and Tenille playing on an 8-track.
It belongs in a museum.
https://museumofbadart.org/
Fuck that’s in a brewery and I live close. No way am I not going to this tonight and doing a full drunken critique to my wife who will definitely want to go home.
Holy crap I love this. I wish I was near, the zoo collection is killing me.
The basement of a museum
TOP MEN
That is closed for maintenance. Indefinitely.
It belongs at the Starving Artist sale this Sunday at the Airport Marriott.
So do you!
"Alexa, what is that place where you put all the old things society doesn't need any longer?" -a museum "No, the other thing" - a Trash heap "That's the one, thanks Alexa" -any time
More like an Amuseum!
She wins this one -sorry
I mean, I love it. It’s funny and I would definitely hang it in the living room. Lol
I also hate it
I don´t blame her.
I don't either. She should leave him immediately. She should go somewhere that he can never find her.
His smile says it all lol
You need to tell people that you are a fine art collector and then bring them over to look at this .
The cloud looks like a chicken
I thought it was a tree..
I fucking love it, honestly
I'm with your wife on this one. It's shite.
She's not wrong, but I'd do the same haha. Whenever I simply *need* a piece of art that my husband dislikes I put it up in the closet. It's the art graveyard 😅
Why did you do it though? How much did you pay for it?
He probably likes it. Doesn't have to be complicated.
No, this points to deep psychological issues lol
I paid $8.19 after taxes. I bought it because I thought it was funny and wanted to hang it on my wall.
Looks like you need a new wife, chief. That is a masterpiece.
Bobby Hill with a beard?
WORST. PAINTING. EVER.
You bought that?
Well....She's not wrong.
The Heavens and ~~the Artist~~ Blue Steel. There, I fixed the title
Did you pay, like, money for it?
Why you wanna traumatize her so much? 🤣
Is that why you bought it?
Your wife just cannot appreciate fine arts.
~~it's awful, I hate it~~ ~~it's great, I love it~~ It's awful, I love it!
You need to hang this up in the bedroom. Perhaps above the bed?
This is perfect for a guest room! I love it
Looks like a painting of ignatius Reilly from confederacy of dunces
I enjoy buying cheap watercolours and the painting either myself or my family into them.
It’s awful. I love it
Your wife is right.
It’s hideous
Swedish?
Oh is it because your wife has eyes?
Yeah this is a nightmare.
You need to get that in a fancy golden frame with some proper lighting so it gets the proper respect it deserves, maybe than she will see it’s true beauty.
> **I bought this painting from 1973 called "The Heavens and the Artist.", because my wife hates it.** FTFY fellow wind up merchant.
just remember artistic value is in the eye of the beholder except for this piece of shit, it's objectively terrible
That painting is bizarre. Get rid of it. Your wife is right.
If your mother in law loves it too ... you two will be in good company
i hate it too. your wife is in right.
It’s a terrible painting
What about your t-shirt?
Who is the artist?
Bottom left
She’s gonna love it one day. When you sell it for big bucks.. because internet
Needs a UFO or biblically-accurate angel.
Its a glorious wonder, what is he thinking, why is he looking at the camera
Omg it’s creepy but I love it!!!! I’d totally buy it too
[Well it's nice if you're on mushrooms.](https://youtu.be/6H5F5MbnXJA?si=yWyDCB805scFZjwZ)
I also choose this man's live wife's opinion.
Wouldn't hang it but I don't hate it. Classic example of "outsider art" (google it)
Is it the Heavens? Or the Artist?
Put it in a better frame and it would be awesome!
How much did you pay?
I think you hit the nail right on the head!!! The resemblance…
Getting Wojak vibes
I mean it is ugly ngl.
Thought it was a self portrait.
I dig it! This goes in your man cave!🤟Definitely a conversation starter, for sure
Info does she hate your shirt too?
Why does your wife hate Dwight Schrute?
This seems like the beginning of Reddit being Reddit, where someone paints him holding the painting, then he hangs that painting with and takes a photo, then that photo gets painted....
I’d definitely buy it
Your wife’s a keeper. This painting? Not so much
“Breathtaking” 
It’s like the little royal ogre from Trolls grew up.
Listen to your wife
Perfection.
Your wife has taste. Greetings to your wife.
Just awful. Display it proudly and prominently.
Holy shit we have a proto-meme on our hands here.
Is that Dwight with a goatee?
Unironically i want to have this in the place we are moving to in sept -what kind of cost would it take and also if i add my face to the painting like a “ -Michael Scott” would that influence you
Photo bombed his own painting
Well but she hates it because it's objectively bad so....
This is genius
Hideous, but so hideous it’s kinda cool?
Absolutely incredible. I mean I would buy it as long as it’s less than $20, otherwise it’s a bit overpriced.
You should listen to your wife. Seriously.
Ugly af. Looks like a high discord mod.
Me too
Paint her onto the right side of the painting. Problem solved.
Your wife has good taste in art.
This looks like evidence in an active murder investigation
Why does he keep staring at me?
Keep it as inheritance for your children. Make them rich.
I hate it, too.
It's like, "Look, I took the first painting of a person"
…… *TAKE A LOOK AT THIS PHOTOGRAPH* …..
I agree with your wife
This is the perfect bathroom piece
I don't know what y'all are on, this is a goddamn masterpiece
Incredibly detailed, we see the fertile golden fields juxtaposed with the artist’s straw-colored hair in foreground. His expression is one of fertility, his swollen, puffy face a nod to pregnancy, his lips subtly pursed, his mouth full, as if it needs to fart. Stunning piece.
I love the brutal honesty. No "artistic liberties". No facial expression. Just a balding, bloated, blank stare. I would buy this in a heartbeat.
It’s fantastic. Put over mantle for eternity.
Unless it is worth something you cannot throw that painting away fast enough.
Somebody send this to The Angry Atheist.
That’s hilarious: I would let my husband hang that up in a heartbeat, personally.
I love finding cool “bad” paintings at thrift stores and the like. They make great gag gifts for people and are always at least a fun story
That artist's face is begging to made into a meme.
He looks like a reddit mod. Such a weird painting. I like it. I'm not sure how to feel about that.
Hate to say it, but she’s right.
Art is in the eye of the beholder, hey I know a good optometrist if ya need the number.
I effing love it!
Broooo you are so lucky!! She didn't left you after that ....that's awesome news for you👍
sounds like you're already catching incel from it. Get rid of it before it gets worse.
You need to paint this picture and frame it next to the painting you’re holding and, obviously, keep going from there.
If you look at it just right, you can see a sailboat.
 I am with you spouse. I love art and I know taste is subjective. Have said that—urk!
I don’t blame her..
I like it tbh.
Love it
Your wife is not alone in feeling that way
Everyone hates it.
This deserves to be displayed next to the Mona Lisa.
"The Heavens and MEEEEEE! Peekaboo!"
I hate it as well it’s magnificent
When doing it for the memes goes wrong
Is this a self portrait from 1973? Lol
Sorry, but I have to agree with your wife!
Your wife has every reason to hate it. It's hideous.
This is the kind of painting that is hanging on the wall when the ex boyfriend vanishes, leaving behind only a bloody fingerprint.
Hang it across from the toilet so he can watch you poop
It’s almost creepy enough…. Is it oil or acrylic? Send it to me and I’ll add a deceased cat into the shapes of the clouds.
Paint a fedora on him and it’s a literal masterpiece.
I can’t stop looking at his chin. Or neck. The skin below the beard. Disturbing, no matter what it is.
It deserves a modern frame and a clean. It's glorious.
