Nude Madonna Painting Up For Auction
Nudes of Madonna have made their way to the auction block before but none as unflattering as this rendition of Madonna with her ex-husband Guy Ritchie painted by Peter Howson. The oil painting shows Madonna with a large belly, no neck and meaty arms being pawed by monstrous version of Ritchie set against a cityscape. The painting is owned by a private collector and is estimated to sell for £15,000 - 22,000 at McTear's auctioneers in Glasgow, Scotland on Saturday May 30. Madonna owns several of Howson's paintings but she probably won't be bidding on this one.

Yup that definitely looks like Madonna if you ask me.

It's as unflattering as the subject,excluding Guy.

Ugh. Seems to be missing a nipple, too. Maybe M. will buy so she can burn it. I'll never understand modern art. People who do, please recommend a book to help me out of my ignorance? Love Matisse, don't get Picasso, and this seems kinda Picasso-derivative?

I think that's A-Rod, not Guy. What do you think?

Jaws, from that James Bond movie? Woman's face looks more like Courtney Love, to me.
