Art Galleries across the world are now full of works that are so bizarre or devoid of skill. Anything including a kitchen sink can be called 'Art' if it has enough high-brow verbiage nonsense written about it...namely Art-Bollockese. To beat a path through this intellectual guff and express the views undoubtedly held by many, the nominated voice of common sense; Joe C Threwitt MA, provides provocative and fun-poking opinions on featured artists and their woeful, weird and/or wacky creations...including the Art Bollockese written about: - A Pile of Bricks - A Messy Bed - A Giant Butt Plug - yes, really! - Canvases Painted White - Toilet Sculpture - Cavorting Nudes - Billboard Poetry Located in Beauty Spots...and many more examples including Turner Prize winning works and well known simplistic, minimalist and conceptual pieces of art; that could have easily been created by a young child or tree living primate. If this book doesn't have you laughing out loud, you must be living on planet Fluxus!
