0 Guest Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 The painting was so bad and so unrealistically impressionistic that nobody would buy it... But after the wonderful damage done to it, people actually considered it pretty good... Hahaha, nah, I have no idea, there must be a catch...

0 Guest Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Although I do really like Sony's answer, The man doing the damage was hired by the curator to go in and damage the paintings. Now the museum can collect some insurance settlement money to help fund the rest of the museum to keep it from going under in the crappy economy. You know that museums and galleries have got to be suffering from lack of charitable funding. You can hardly blame the curator for going to such extreme measures to save the entire museum. Although, if I were him, I would have had some of the more abstract pieces destroyed. Impressionism is just so beautiful. I guess it's just another case of the needs of the many outweighing the needs of the few. (sigh) Probably not it, but it is a valid point none the less.

First of all, the paintings weren't for sale, it was a museum. Secondly, I think you're reading way too far into this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can safely promise you that the paintings were definitely not, under any circumstances, forged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think the curator just didn't like impressionism is a good reason.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 The man tripped and stopped his fall by sticking his hands. He fell against the painting leaving his hand marks dented in. The curator thanked him because he then had made it truly impressioned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 bushindo Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 (edited) The man happened to catch a terrorist who is about to detonate a bomb in the museum, which would destroy the entire museum collection along with the building. The man bravely arm wrestled with the terrorist, destroying some painting in the struggles. Fortunately, he overpowered the terrorist in the end and the museum was saved. The curator thanked the man because at the time of the struggle, he was crouching under a desk in his nearby office and praying for his life. If it weren't for the man he would have went up in smoke along with his museum. Edited April 27, 2009 by bushindo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Maybe the guy was making horrible remarks (verbal damage) about how bad they looked. Then the curator new what to do to the paintings, so he thanked him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 pathetic thought of mine the curator wasnt the first curater of the museum. and when the art quality inspector came, he had to see if the art was real and good quality so he had to handle them but he accidentally rips one but inside the painting was lotsa money and the curator didnt know there was hidden treasure? probabley wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
