“It is simply a masterpiece,” Cristian Albu, Christie’s international director of postwar and contemporary art, said of Warrior.

This is why I can't take any modern artist or art critic seriously. No, it is not a masterpiece. As you said, this is something that would come out of early elementary school. It is total crap.

Y'know, not enough people understood what Andy Warhol was trying to do to the modernists. If they had, he'd have been seen less as an artist and more of a very brilliant visual comedian.

The modernists understood, that's why they hated him as much as Hollywood hated Mel Brooks and in the same way that musicians feared Al Yankovic.

"Smells like Nirvana." "Is it gonna be about farts?" "No, it's about how nobody knows what you were singing about." -Actual discussion between Weird Al and Kurt Cobain
