I was going to say like taping a banana to a wall. But then again, painting soup cans was shock value too at one time.

Yes... but I don't know if Warhol intended the soup cans to shock. From what I've read, someone whose opinion he valued told him to simply paint what he liked... and he liked Campbell's Soup.

I seem to remember that Vincent van Gogh "The Potato Eaters" had shock value.
the more I think about it, the more things come up.

That must be why I paint women.

I once had a teacher tell me I was a very creative speller.
