Never heard of him.

Maybe its a tiny mouth without a wisdom tooth left.
Or right, or top or bottom.
Maybe a crater, or a chickenpox scar.

Here's a crazy idea for some art.

Why not get some clay and try to fashion it into a shape that looks like a head and face of a person; you might even try to do a whole human body?
You could spend lots of time and effort on it getting it right. There's be lots of room for engagement with the material, creative interpretation and skill building.
You could even finish it in Bronze.

Crazy I know. But someone's got to think of these crazy ideas.
You might even try a 2D version using paint on a flat surface.

BONKERS!!

This is what I call art:

That is crazy. But your idea of good art can live alongside the other stuff you think rubbish, can't it?

Boob animation. Why do you call this art?

Pluto wrote: Why do you call this art?

Because I didn't feel like drawing a stick man and I didn't have a piece of paper to screw up.

What the f*** do you mean "live alongside"?

In our European society, there is every chance that people with different beliefs can live alongside, and with, each other
