Open Thread - 07-17-26 - Every Picture Tells a Story

I'll forgo the political in lieu of something a bit personal this week. Consider it a small peek at the man behind the curtain.

If every picture tells a story then what does an art collection have to say?

I've purchased several fine art prints over the years, from the late nineties to somewhere around 2015. These limited edition prints are numbered and signed by the artists and are high quality reproductions of original paintings. They are printed on quality non-acidic archival heavy paper.

Many times I've wondered if an individual's tastes in art reflects upon their self-identity and if so, what does my art print collection says about me. So I asked the Google search engine. Yeah, I know, Google. Since it was a non-controversial query I figured Google was as good as any other search engine and possibly may provide a wider range of results.

As usual for Google there was an AI result at the top which I ignored. I went through three pages of results and wasn't getting any specific answers to my query, so for kicks I took a look at the AI result before moving on and I was surprised.
