the exciting part there is the content though, that the message is that Commercial Art is as valid as Fine Art or at least it's the definitive art of the PostModern world
and that Marilyn Monroe is our shared experience etc.

That image is striking and highly memorable without having to understand anything about artsy stuff. Just like the soup can painting is just a ****ing soup can but the concept of it having been painted so faithfully seemingly for no reason is memorable even if it's just a ****ing soup can. The painting you posted has none of that striking quality.

I mean I'm not putting that much into "kinda neat". It just looks a bit neat and the minimalism makes the design memorable, even if it's not at all striking. Like I could without interest comment on what I think is good about it without committing to any kind of feeling. Of course the only reason I'd bother to take note of anything is because it's being presented as art rather than just a doctor's office print.
