Museum of Bad Art -- Not So Bad?

In a recent Tweet (@MohnerCyclist), I mentioned the Museum of Bad Art in Dedham, MA, located hilariously and appropriately in the basement, outside of the men's bathroom of the Dedham Community Theater. I proposed this painting of Madonna and Guy Ritchie by Peter Howson should be in it. It is being auctioned off for about 25,000 pounds.


And I firmly believe that. It's just god-awful. I mean, look at it.

However, some of the paintings at MoBA I think are in the category of fairly decent "outsider" art. See if you agree.
