Which begins with greasing your hair back and adopting ‘Pavel’ as your first name.
Paul Jordan Smith created a hoax in the 1920’s that mocked the standards of what was considered good art. That was his intention.
He wanted to undermine the tastes of the contemporary art world by drawing “squiggles and eyeballs” and having it received as fine art. But does that prove anything? Probably, but Paul was also an ass for thinking he knows what really is good. 
One man’s squiggly lines and eyeballs is another’s Cezanne (or Escher; Cezanne didn’t paint eyeballs).
I like his squiggly lines and eyeballs and do not care if it was a hoax.
