Contained in these three pictures is a simple formula:





You do the math.

1. Remember when the Repugs said this had Communist propaganda in it?

2. They've got better eyes than I do. All I see is splattered paint.

3. the lack of any pattern is a symbol of the desire for

an eventual withering away of the state, therefore this painting is the epitome of marxism.

4. As an artist, I can dig what he did

The art is in the action of applying paint to canvas. His works are BIG in size. When you see them in real life as opposed to a picture in a book or a website, the impact becomes more palpable.

I can understand that alot of people don't get it. It took me a long time to really appreciate his work. I still can't stand Warhol. Rothko doesn't grab me either, it's just housepainting on canvas. Basquiat was basically scribbling.

Flame away if you wish.

5. I love his art work.

I've never seen his work in real life, only pictures, and I can only think what it would be like to see it for real. :)

Welcome to DU btw! :hi:

6. I find his paintings interesting to look at,

but I can't resist poking fun at them every now and again.
