Eat. The. Rich. (hexbear.net)

And I cannot stress this enough: bury their bones in an unmarked ditch.

Those are original Warhol boxes. Two Brillos, a Motts and a Campbells tomato soup. Multiple millions worth of original art, set on the floor by the front door.

Theres a regular customer whom i do plumbing work for, for the last 3 or 4 years. These belong to her. She also has Cherub Riding a Stag, and a couple other Warhols that i cannot identify, along with other originals by other artists that i also cannot identify. I have to go back to her house this coming Monday, i might get photos of the rest of her art, just so i can figure out what it is.

Even though i dont have an artistic bone in my entire body, i can appreciate art. I have negative feelings on private art like this that im too dumb to elucidate on.

eat the fucking rich. they are good for nothing.

just here to drop my opinions. this is 100% art, the art on the box of normal brands is art, warhol making these boxes is also art. its bad shallow art thats making the same critique of society that an edgy redditor would make. no one will be happy with this take i think haha but thats what makes art fun!

edit follow up thought. effort and skill does not equal art look a 5 year old in the eye and tell them their finger painting isnt art lol.

It makes me feel the same way I do when I compare the designs on the name brand boxes of cereal to the off brand ones. There’s always a weird implication that poor people deserve bad design.

I liked your take.

I never said Andy Warhol's art wasn't art. I did say that it's not just overblown but also stale by now yet for some people it commands such infinite respect that it requires imitation because "punk" is all about repeating the same message of the same fed-funded rich asshole with awe and reverence for all eternity. morshupls
