  I had an Art History class where the prof showed a series of about 20 slides in which we were to guess which ones were authentic Pollock's.

  There was no way of telling unless you could recognize a specific piece. A couple of the slides were of paintings made by little kids.

  Some in the class got upset and felt they needed to defend Pollock. The prof found it ridiculous. Her response was that America was in love with his lifestyle and the art was only interesting 'cause nobody had dome it before.

  The emperor wears no clothes.
