On the Topic of Art

 This morning, I went looking for examples of Hunter Biden artwork.  It's been in the news lately, and Hunter is apparently making some 'cash/loot' for the paintings.

My impression?  If you type in Hunter Biden art.....Google will come up and give you at least five paintings.

First, it's weird stuff that you might draw, if you were on LSD or Crack.

Second, it kinda reminds one of Vasily Kandinsky or Pablo Picasso....simple stuff....maybe a dozen colors....the stuff you could start at 9 AM and have done at 5 PM.

Third, in towns like Tucson or Austin....at a local art show.....this kinda stuff would max out at $400.....not $400k.  

Fourth and final....if this were a 18-year old kid's work....you'd likely advise him to stick with his regular job and just do this as a evening hobby.

So if you were to buy one or two....say for $250k each....would they hold value?  I just don't see how.
