Helpful Old Lady Ruins 200-Year-Old Portrait

[lunam-kardas]

So that's what Jabba the Hutt looked like before he lost all his hair and gained all that weight.

I'm almost tempted to visit this lady to have her paint a portrait of me.

It's not like someone welded a huge copper dong to the Statue of Liberty or something else the rest of the world might care about.

Woah, wait up- People care about the Statue of Liberty?

Well, it has impressive scale for a statue and designed by the man who built the Eiffel Tower. I suppose it could be considered a symbol of immigrants seeing as it is made in France and has greeted many immigrants that came in by boat in New York harbour.

Why, why, why oh why did she think she could fix that...?

What a silly billy.

 

[DaWaffledude]

Oh dear...

Actually, her version is visually quite interesting. It has an air of sadness and conveys a great deal of pain, in a very abstract way of course. If the name of some famous artist was on it would probably fetch a hefty sum.

It's sad she did it without experiance; however, the painting was starting to degrade and fall apart from age. I really like it as a unique twist from the original. That and I'm kind of sick of all the cliched/depressing pictures of a tilted/dying jesus you see everywhere the land is slightly flat.

It sucks it happened to such an old piece
She did her best to be helpful
I like it

A symbol of immigrants? Once, maybe, when the U.S. actually let people immigrate there and didn't aggressively patrol its borders with armed men and hunt down "illegals" like they were made of the plague lol.

I still think it is a hell of a lot more impressive then some mural no one gave a damn about until armature hour kicked in.

Jesus Christ evolved into Jebus Cwist. A masterpiece.

 

[OldDirtyCrusty]

Now THIS is art. Hand her over some other stuff to restore.

 

[MrBoBo]

This article made my day. Classic.

 

[oppp7]

Which do you choose?

Funny, but I hope she doesn't get in trouble.
Maybe it'll make it into MOBA [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Museum_of_Bad_Art].
Kinda sad to see something so old get ruined.
Bleh, stupid art beforehand, at least it gets to live on in infamy.

I choose green.

I dunno. Her attempt to repair the damage is pretty spectacular.

It is rather unique, I will give you that.

Meh, so she's got a neo-Picasso thing going on. It's at least interesting. Of course, I think Mr. Bean improved on Whistler as well.
