Banksy vs Bristol Museum

By Tuesday August 4, 2009

The Obama poster immediately reminded me of the street artist Banksy who we have highlight on this blog many times before.

    I liked the new format for the DU blog. That’s because I don’t like reading italics. Albeit the picture of JCD at the top was a little creepy.

    No Michael Jackson in the cage with the monkey? Missed opportunity!

    I provide the BS,
    YOU provide the meaning.

    Vonnegut: Art is a conspiracy between rich people and artists to make poor people think they are dumb.

    I hate graffiti, but Banksy may be the greatest artist of our generation. There are masters of their craft all over the place, but this guy is doing something new. Damien Hirst is the only other living artist I can think of who will leave a legacy after he’s gone.

    I think some graffiti is really well done and can really improve a blank wall. I like what I have seen of Banksy’s work. He’s big into social commentary.

    Some idiots vandalised the small piece he did in an alley here in Melbourne. Ironic, eh.

    It’s nice to know art still lives.
