Gallery Showing Hunter Biden Paintings is Vandalized
[WashingtonExaminer] A man accused of vandalizing Hunter Biden's art gallery and attacking an employee has been arrested, police say.

Rodrick Webber, 47, was detained at approximately 3:40 p.m. Friday at the George Burgess Art Gallery in the SoHo neighborhood of New York City after he defaced artwork inside the gallery, representatives for the New York Police Department said in an email to the Washington Examiner.

Webber allegedly spray-painted the word "Daddy" on a wall inside the gallery, damaging a painting worth $14,500...
I think there was no damage to any of Hunter's paintings
Not that physical damage would reduce their artistic value, and might actually add to their sales price — now they’d have an interesting story.

#4 They look like a series of greeting cards. President George W. Bush has better technical skills, I think, although his habit of making the bad guys he dealt with look like clowns is a bit silly. (George W’s paintings)

#6 Hunter's Inspiration or a Muse ?

A muse is someone who provides a source of inspiration for an artist. Instilling a renewed sense of passion in the artist to create better works, the muse is often a female; however, many men have also provided artistic inspiration. From lovers to spouses to friends, inspiration comes from many different individuals.

Other individuals of note have said otherwise, not referring to a muse, but to there interpretation of their worlds. James MacNeill Whistler. "Every artist dips his brush in his own soul and paints his own nature into his pictures.". -- Henry Ward Beecher. "Happy are the painters, for they shall not be lonely. Light and colour, peace and hope, will keep them company to the end of the day." -- Winston Churchill.

The people, who view their artistic works, seem to search for the artists inspirations for their works.

#8 Why do I think this is a distraction from the Hunter Biden 'Art' Money-Laundering pipeline?
And to somehow legitimise Hunter's 'art' as 'Art'.
(and why do I get the impression Hunter didn't create the art himself?)

#9 If not planned, certainly welcomed.

Not sure which is cheesier - the sequined shirt or the dentures.

#10 Why can't we just have a frank diversionary discussion about alien spacecraft toilet waste? I think Skid tried to get something going in that regard a day or two ago.

Wait, are you suggesting that Hunter is a space alien here to help lead humanity to a new age of Art and Reason?

#13 Point of clarification....comments 11 and 12 are in no way mutually exclusive.

#14 I'm suddenly seeing a movie script:
Grifters From Beyond The Stars - An alien race came to Earth to save Humanity... but they got side-tracked...

I bet we could get Keanu Reeves to play Hunter.

Is featured in screenplays.
Insured for a billion a ton!"
