1426137 2016-09-23 06:22:00 [QUOTE=Terry Porritt;1250756]The "you don't understand" argument can only be taken so far. For example I could see a page of maths that is beyond my understanding, but I wouldn't rubbish it just because I didn't understand it.[QUOTE]

That's all very well Terry, but maths has logic and purpose. I don't understand maths very well either, but I know it makes sense, however much of McCahon's art does not make sense. I acknowledge that some of his works are 'hangable art', but so much of it looks like a child's work, or the scrawling of a drunken tagger. Have you actually looked through all his works on line? Stand that stuff up against some other well known artists, abstract or from life, and he just doesn't make the grade.

We've got art on most of our walls, and in my office I have an artwork that my daughter created in primary school. I'm not comparing it to McCahon, but in principle it is little different in style or expression to his works, in fact it is better than some works that just left me scratching my head.

Cheers

Some of these paintings cost more than their weight in meat.
