Now THIS is worth asking "what's so special about it?"

If you ever saw it in person you’d know why it’s so special. Just like my dick, it has long lines to see it, red ropes to keep you away and is much smaller than you’d think.

It's the same with most art.

Becomes famous and people like it just because it's famous.

It’s famous because someone said it was...that’s the truth. Art is a racket.

There’s a lot of famous art that I think the same thing of. I never saw the big deal about Picasso stuff. I guess you are supposed to be an “art expert” to get it or perhaps all the supposed experts are really just full of shite.

Visually it's probably the least impressive thing in the Louvre.

One cool thing about it, no matter where you stand, it seems she is looking at you. As you walk around the painting her eyes follow you. Don’t know who that happens, but it do.

It’s a display of the absolute mastery of technique, perspective, stroke depth and consistency

Oddly enough all of those things are required for giving that good dick so it makes sense you wouldn’t understand.

No most isn’t. Not only was he so far ahead of his time he helped shape and develop a lot of technique that is used to this day.

His notes and and sketches are studied by artists around the world to this day because he understood shape and just about every other concept of art on a level that nobody at the time really did and many now wouldn’t without him


For perspective look at it this way

It would be like finding a rocket ship built 300 years ago.

It’s the kind of shite that’s so impressive you can’t help but marvel. Much like Russian literature.

I'm not disagreeing with you but just want to understand...

What is difference about the shapes in the Mona Lisa compared to any other painting?

I mean it looks like a woman... how can shape be interpreted any different than what it actually is?
