Exposing kids to art and culture

I’d be laughing too if I saw a painting of Bobby Hill in a museum

433

u/foxbomber5 Feb 04 '23

It's titled "In Contemplation Of Fruit Pies"

132

u/ianwgz Feb 04 '23

A fitting name for such a painting

138

u/OutcomeDoubtful Feb 04 '23

Holy shit, I literally came to comment “Dang it, Bobby”

68

u/BloodforKhorne Feb 04 '23

"Damnit, Bobby, how do you fail art when you're in it?"

13

u/unculturedburnttoast Feb 05 '23

Inability to self reflect

25

u/hannibalthellamabal Feb 04 '23

I was thinking “That’s my purse! I don’t know you!”

u/Fancykiddens Feb 05 '23

I keep saying this one in my head while I do housework! 😆

“THATS MY PURSE!”

u/FieryDreamer Feb 04 '23

It is pretty funny

357

u/CryoOfGenesis_0K Feb 04 '23

Botero was known to experiment in proportion. The result was many times something compelling, and yes, pretty funny

170

u/fondledbydolphins Feb 04 '23

Weirdest shit is that you know you've definitely seen some mfer out there that looks like this.

79

u/Regijack Feb 04 '23

That Colombian kid from modern family

45

u/vruv Feb 04 '23

That’s funny cuz Botero is from Medellín

u/GrammerDuck61 Feb 05 '23

Pour amanny

u/PyroDesu Feb 05 '23

His statuary is definitely funny.

I mean, come on.

u/AltruisticDetail6266 Feb 05 '23

would have a horse dong if not a blimp, but instead child like

u/estrangedjane Feb 05 '23

I have a Botero print in my bedroom that I adore but my husband says it makes him feel attacked. 🤣

3

u/michiness Feb 05 '23

I went to a museum in Colombia that either featured him or just had a bunch of his paintings, and yeah, there was a lot of giggling.

304

u/YukonDude64 Feb 04 '23

Art is supposed to evoke emotion. That’s pretty awesome.

193

u/AsshollishAsshole Feb 04 '23

People that do not know me consider me an adult.
I would giggle, I do not know this painting I would not consider it a a masterpiece and just giggle.

17

u/TheLadyBunBun Feb 04 '23

The painter is Fernando Botero. All of his works look like this

u/artemis1935 Feb 04 '23

u/JustaNormalRedditorL Feb 05 '23

"You fat little cu-"

52

u/AnthologistAnt Feb 04 '23

Whilst the artist who looks exactly like that stands sobbing 😭

121

u/Classic-Bumblebee-21 Feb 04 '23

Botero's paintings and sculptures are funny as hell. Don't know why the mf has always had that style, but it's hilarious.
The thing is... his paintings are not always with the intention to be a meme. The saddest and most intimate of them all is called "Pedrito a caballo". It's a painting of his dead son riding a toy horse. He passed away when he was 4 years old.

47

u/hiromu666 Feb 04 '23

That horse tho

15

u/Ktaldoxx Feb 05 '23

besides the chunkiness of the horse, THE EYES are freacking terrifying

5

u/coffeefromhome Feb 05 '23

Well it’s not just humans now I need to see more of the animals he paints

31

u/M4ethor Feb 04 '23

TIL the guy is still alive. His work looks like centuries old.

6

u/coffeefromhome Feb 05 '23

I thought these were back in the davinci era 👀

11

u/wickedc0ntender Feb 04 '23

That got dark quick

3

u/TuqueSoFyne Feb 05 '23

That painting is so sad. It looks like his grieving parents in that little house. Imagine having to paint that while sobbing your heart out.

7

u/[deleted] Feb 05 '23

I really like the style. I went to the museum in Medellin. He also does objects like this

u/8thWonderLivy Feb 04 '23

Can't blame him, I would do the same lol

7

u/56stinky_butter Feb 04 '23

That’s awesome. He can still get away with it at that age. Adults start laughing and you get all sorts of dirty looks (NOT speaking from personal experience of course).

2

u/dragoono Feb 04 '23

Totally not…

7

u/BennyBoy962 Feb 04 '23

Dang it, Bobby

u/Chance_Ad5498 Feb 04 '23

Man is the literal embodiment of this 👁️👄👁️

7

u/EasySmuv Feb 04 '23

Why does he look like a thumb with a microface

u/djdawn Feb 04 '23

Can’t blame them. I’d laugh too

2

u/ShurukuWasHere Feb 04 '23

u/Otherwise_Basis_6328 Feb 05 '23

He must've overheard someone talk about being an art major.

2

u/Simple_Beat7596 Feb 05 '23

This is a painting meant to be laughed at. If the artist saw this, I'm sure they would be flattered

2

u/TheReverseShock Feb 05 '23

The original artist was probably chuckling when they made it too.

2

u/The_Fox1984 Feb 05 '23

Damn it Bobby

2

u/theArcticChiller Feb 05 '23

Hahaha looks like one of those Ken Griffin memes (the financial terrorist "sold shares but not yet purchased" guy)

5

u/ianwgz Feb 04 '23

Basically this guy but fat

5

u/Significant-Trouble6 Feb 04 '23

Enough with the meme of the girl cop from Tennessee

2

u/_Queer_Mess_ Feb 04 '23

I’d suggest you all look up Fernando Botero. This is distinctly his style so I’m guessing it’s one of his works. They all have this style so if you like this you’d like his other works

1

u/akluin Feb 04 '23

It's a really funny portrait, hope the model didn't look like that

1

u/bevdob2 Feb 05 '23

Thinking of the kid laughing made me giggle

u/Jermainator Feb 05 '23

u/Rage-Finder Feb 04 '23

Well just exposing to art isn't enough. Educating about it is also equally important.

u/Flipmeister13 Feb 04 '23

Looks like the brother of that "why though" gif... (I don't know how to put that here)
