Europe has the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, the works of Shakespeare, Bernini, Picasso, Beethoven ... America has The Evil Dead Pretty fair comparison

Lmao 🤣 Well, to be a bit more fair, the US is a fraction of the age of the countries in Europe. After all, Italy is over 1,800 years old. The US? The US does have Wood, Harper, Warhol, Seurat, Pollock, Vermeer, O'Keefe, Rockwell, Segal, Sargent, Whistler, Cassatt, and more. Art has no border.

To be fair, most of those are pretty crap I really like Grant Wood, American Gothic (1930)

That's the great thing about art ... it's purely subjective. I don't consider brick walls art in the classic sense, even if I would rather look at a brick wall than some people's gardens lol
