What an ass! What idiot reasoning did this man have to think he had the right to do such an act. Not only did he destroy something that was considered to be a great work of art, but he destroyed the monetary value which could have been used to help numerous people. If he didn't like it he should have sold it on or given it back to the artist or something of the sort. People like that make me sick. They think they are not held up to the same standards as the rest of the world.

How was the monetary value of the destroyed painting going to be used to help numerous people? Do you mean the heirs could have sold the painting and gotten rich? If so, big deal. It's not like the money would have gone to charity. Just to people who are probably financially well off already. No sympathy there. Also for your information, Breslauer had every right to destroy the painting HE paid for and which was of HIM. If someone paints a picture of you and you don't like it, why would you give it back to the artist to sell? Why would you want someone to own a picture of you? Especially, one you don't like? It was his picture so he had the right to do whatever he wanted with it. Period. I would have destroyed it too. And, asked for a refund of my money.
