when I saw the new portrait of King Charles, I thought it was a joke.
is it bad art? Yes of course it is. The background swallows the subject, and the colour reminds one of blood. Or maybe fire.
Or is it the artist sensing the soul of the King?
The sardonic Aussies comment on the picture:
however most of the news reports either praise it or insist that the opinions are mixed on if it is a good portrait or not.
And yes they are gaslighting you.
I am reminded of what we were taught in Psychiatry as a warning not to swallow the tales told to use by our patients: Use the taxi driver rule.
If the average taxi driver would say these opinions were crazy, maybe they have a psychiatric problem.
so yes, Charles: It is a bad painting (in style), and a the average person hates it.
OK Guys: Let the memes begin.
