Here are three paintings. Two of them are fake and one is genuine. What I want you to tell me is: Which painting is the real one?
I have written the artist and the title of the painting to help you make a better guess. The real painting is currently on sale for $130,000 in the US. Can anyone in their right mind pay $130,000 for a piece of crayon painting?
I know you will be tempted to do a quick research and find out the truth, but just for the sake of knowing how to spot a real work of art, make an attempt to guess.
Which one of these paintings below is worth your $130,000?
_____
1. Henri Matisse, "The Painist"
This painting is famous because of the depiction of the struggling relationship between man and instrument. An early thinker for his time, Matisse incorporated into this simple crayon drawing the notion of man and technology in a constant battle with one another, in an attempt to over-power. Note his bold strokes in the piano in contrast to the stick thin stroke used for man.
____
2. Pablo Picasso, "Atelier de Cannes"
Picasso is regarded one of the best artists of the 20th Century. His use of colorful crayon depicts his colorful life at his studio in Cannes, where he produced some of his masterpeices. This particular painting is one of the first instances of his self-portrait.
____
3. Miro, "Le Insanite"
The use of wild crayon strokes set Miro apart from his contemporaries. His vision of Insanity is depicted here as his own life was filled with complications and madness, which led to his ultimate suicide. This painting is very relevant for today's time as it correctly represents the insanity in people's lives. His use of frantic, jerky and abrupt crayon symbolizes how he felt at this particular time in his life.
Good luck...

may be the third one
OK guys, since this post did not generate the response I was expecting, i will tell you the answer.
Believe it or not, the painting Atelier de Cannes by Picasso is an original piece of art, for sale at the costly price of $130,000.
The first picture was drawn by a boy in some kindergarten. The third pic was a random sketch by a girl by the name of zoe miro in some kindergarten in the US. My point here was sometimes I see these art work which seems to resemble a kid's artwork in school, yet because of the name, like Picasso, the artwork is worth a lot.

:(..i dont have the sense of artist:(
This has nothing to do with have a sense of an artist...its all to do with how much money people are willing to pay for something that could pass for a kid's drawing from KG. Absurd it what it is.
