At least, that’s the most popular painting in China.
The least popular is this:
The artists doing this are two Russians (named Komar and Melamid), who thought that art, like anything else in our consumerist society, should be solicited and democratic. They created a generalized survey for people and then included all the results in a painting.
Unsurprisingly, the favourite colour was blue.
For the rest of the countries, i.e. the US, France or Germany, go to their original website.
It’s funny, because none of the paintings really appeal to me, on an individual basis.
