Re: Monet and Picasso among works stolen from museum
But these are not famous works IMO? Was this done to get publicity?
Re: Monet and Picasso among works stolen from museum
They are very famous artists! The paintings are worth millions each. Doubt it was for publicity.
Re: Monet and Picasso among works stolen from museum
No doubt artists are famous, but these particular works are not that much famous.
Re: Monet and Picasso among works stolen from museum
whether famous or not but it is sad :(
Re: Monet and Picasso among works stolen from museum
If Mona Lisa is stolen and never found, I would be more happy :)
Re: Monet and Picasso among works stolen from museum

Re: Monet and Picasso among works stolen from museum
yes she is overrated khwamakha? Do you like her?
Re: Monet and Picasso among works stolen from museum
no :nono:
Re: Monet and Picasso among works stolen from museum
Yea what's mystery behind her painting??
Re: Monet and Picasso among works stolen from museum
No need to compare every painting to the Mona Lisa. I doubt that will ever be stolen as security around it is so tight, what with its bullet proof glass case.
These paintings are worth in the region of £160 million all together and were by well know artists. I think it would be amazing owing any piece by Picasso, or Monet as a decorative piece and an investment, but obviously not a stolen one!
Re: Monet and Picasso among works stolen from museum
Wow... Matisse is awesome.
Hopefully, they catch the thieves!
I would have thought the security would be very tight...
