A painting by Matisse was sold on Monday for $41.1 million as part of an art sale from the estate of Yves Saint Laurent.

That's a record price for a Matisse painting!

The art sale from the estate of Yves Saint Laurent was akin to dancing on the Titanic just before it capsized.

I can do a knock off in no time!! I have tons of crayons and markers. Let me know if you want me to color you a picture. I have tons of coloring books so let me know if you want sesame street, cars or disney princesses. I only charge 1 million which considering the price of the Matisse is a steal!

It illustrates that the divide between rich and poor is getting bigger. The rich might feel the recession a little, but nothing like we are here down in the real world.

most likely a bunch of scribbled colors that looks like it was done by a blind retard with a twitch but just so its sold for ridiculous amounts of money we like to call it "abstract"..
