How much does a painting by artist Pigcasso cost: everyone paints
It is not so difficult for a modern person to discover a talent in himself. And if nature has nevertheless deprived him of creative abilities, he can ask animals for help.
Thus, from oblivion, the name of a new artist was revealed to the world - the pig Pigcasso. One of his works was sold for crazy money.
Another world record was set after an amateur was found who wanted to buy a painting painted by a pig.
The pig was born in 2016 and grew up on a farm in South Africa.
She would have certainly disappeared without a trace in the human womb if not for activist Joanne Lefson.
They rescued the piglet when it was still very small and then sent it to a non-profit organization.
The pig's owner once discovered that the pig was quite a picky eater. It ate everything except the owner's brushes.
What prompted Lefson to start teaching the pig to draw is not reported.
But that wasn't all that was successful. The pig unexpectedly developed a gift for drawing.
Under the experienced guidance of her mistress, 400 works of art came from Pigcasso's pen!
The pig signs by dipping his snout into beetroot juice and leaving an imprint on the newly-minted masterpiece.
In 2018, the pig "organized" an exhibition at the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront in Cape Town.
In December 2021, one of the works by the grunting artist was sold at auction for $26,898.
The painting Wild and Free was recognized as the most expensive of those painted by an animal. Before that (in 2005), a painting by a chimpanzee was sold for $17,400.
The pig's owner hopes to use her pet to educate the world community about the negative consequences of animal farming.
