Museum of Bad Art

SWAMP PICNIC
Ted Cate Jr.
21? x 30?, oil on art board
Donated by Bhavani, May, 2014 - Ted was the 2nd cousin of Bhavani (Margaret) who passed away 1/2/2011

An attractive couple enjoy a private moment at the water?s edge. The artist seems to be sharing his vision of a dystopian future in which fashion conscious hipsters, living with rising sea levels and widespread pollution, wear ?his and her? hazmat suits.

Geoff Sprague I actually like this one ?

Jennifer Eady despite having hands burned off by radiation, and having to wear protective suits against the post apopalyptic aftermath, Suzie and Tom found joy in a little romantic picnic by lake Org.

Scott Benowitz If that's real wood and not plastic, then that's actually an expensive frame, meaning that someone actually paid more than $100 to frame this...

Lstj James This is a truly important piece in the elite world of bad art. It defies both description and good taste as many bad pieces do however it has that special something extra.

Shawne Randlett This is fabulous. With enough exposure, sickly green rubber body suits could become a driving cultural fashion statement among Al Gore cultists!

Barbara Wiler This is epic. I'm curious the back story. Are these supposed to be two people dressed as aliens taking a rest from scaring people? Maybe their face masks are in that bag behind the male. Looks like they are going to have a picnic.

Tara Womer I see in Cate's Swamp Picnic the germ of what was to become Green Man. Not the stone acanthus Green Man of yore. Or even his knockoff--the viejo sabio verde found in Design Toscano catalogs, but a totally modern interpretation one might see when one ...See More
