To throw away this painting - with pic

Rosebean92 · 01/03/2021 22:18

Bought a lovely Victorian flat with my partner however the previous occupant left this truly awful painting. Am I being unreasonable to just throw it away? Partner seems to think we could sell it! I just want it gone as it’s giving me nightmares just looking at it.

Contact the previous owners and offer them ot back...its gone if they say no thanks it is yours to dispose off. If you sell it give the money to charity so good comes from the sale. Good Karma!

Are people that desperate for news? Lol

Unfortunately, this is a painting of someone feeling traumatic about something. I have many friends who paint these type of pictures all the time.

It's no worse than some of Goya's work and that's in El Prado!

Beg to differ. Goya is a stone-cold genius.

Burn the bloody thing. That’s creepy as fu*k“

Though that’s probably what people said about The Scream. How much is that worth now?

I think this one is even more hideous and painted more skilfully.

Maybe try Sotheby’s Grin

That is horrendous! Don’t bin it though. Free cycle?

chocolatemademefat · 05/03/2021 10:57

Ooft! Get it out the house!

Sameoldgirl · 06/03/2021 18:52

That is horrific!

themightylolly · 06/03/2021 20:27

Is it signed by Satan? It’s creepy as fuck!, ’d sell it on, tbh I’d be too scared to burn it.

Yes - I'm a bad person. I'm blaming lockdown
