This portrait is on the student level at best. The drawing is weak, and the colors show no real thought or planning. If this were done by a student in a school, it would be judged as it really is, but rather it is heralded because the artist is the grandson of Sigmund Freud.

How can this artist truly communicate, when he hasn't grasped the language?

Perhaps the "modern" art movement is desprately trying to grasp for survival. I for one, will be glad when it is finally dismissed for what it truly is.
