One of my philosophy lessons consisted of having to compare the work of saddams artist to that of michael angelo where i had to answer this question of why his art was bad (i dont remember why we were asked this question) but basically what i came up with that made it for me hidious artwork.
- the colours are like a neon rainbow of puke, terribly tacky and vile to look at.
- the underlying immagery, the homo- eroticism as urban was saying and such, snakes representing things, missiles in other paintings not shown,
- in comparison with michael angelo and other artists we used looking at it its actually quite cruedly drawn...
- there's not very much depth at all to these pictures, point two is about as far as they go.
i think overall you need a strong stomach to collect this sort of painting.
