    Ancient times - I’d like a giant sculpture of Zeus but make it have my face. Also, my wife wants a giant sculpture of Aphrodite with perfect perky tits but make it have her face.

    Modern times - Block of concrete = feelings or poverty or some shit.

    Modern art: the most random weird ass thing you’ve ever seen, I love it.

    Here’s an old TV set from the 60s, it plays a black and white loop of a man in a suit sitting on a chair and laughing. Don’t know what the fuck it means but it fascinated me for good 5 minutes, until I was distracted by a clay figurine of Bavarian men mooning me.

      More like, it’s easier to launder money and dodge taxes if nobody can second-guess your buddy - the art evaluator…

      Also, making big dudes requires time, money, and skill. Boxes though…
