In reply to the discussion: Hunter Biden's Artwork [View all]George II
(67,782 posts)53. I don't know that anyone particularly "likes" Hunter Biden, it's just that no one DISlikes him...
I don't see fawning adulation, I just see people respecting his right to run his life the way he chooses. At least he recognized his shortcomings years ago and has resolved them.
His paintings, Billy Carter's (RIP) beer, etc. sell for the prices people are willing to pay. If no one is willing to pay $500K for one of his paintings it won't get sold at that price.
When I was in high school, my father got me a summer job working in the warehouse of the company he worked at. I guess I was using his "good name" to cash in.

I don't think the water colors are so great, but see promise in the graphic designs.

Art is always personal & subjective, reflecting the eye of the artist as well as the viewer.

What I was referring to in the comparison is that like Megan he is cashing in on his fathers name

Agree with the last sentence. Can't deny H Biden an opportunity, but it just doesn't look good.

Yes, I'm sure anyone could have produced these painting with no name recognition and sold for 500K.
