Thank goodness someone understands that this is art we're looking at here.

Dude I was totally kidding with mictoboy - believe me I am not surprised that you know about Picasso's light paintings! The jest is that if you work in the art world to any degree lots of people would say "I see what you did there" not with a laff but with a chin rub and a discussion about the meaning of removing the protagonist from the image to create a 'new discourse on the nature of memory and society's ability to appreciate history in the digital nowism'. Me I'm just having fun :)

I shall simply say thank you, it is the appreciation of one's peers that one appreciates, even if the appreciation has no bearing on the work.

free beer is not nearly as un-appreciated as Picasso's light art experiments.

Not too bothered though. I just think it looks like a ghost man with a neon whip.

I think he is vastly under-appreciated for his "light art". For the time, it's amazing.

Pretty sure he is one of if not the best known artist of the 20th century

yeah, as a start point for the project I'm using some of the LIFE magazine best images of the 20th century, but many of them are just pure Americana like the Mickey Mantel one.

even more under-appreciated is the guy who showed him how it was done: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gjon_Mili
