That just makes me think, "Heh, kinda neat". Could be counter productive though since if they're trying to do something anyone can do and can only accomplish "kinda neat" then it's a failure, no? Couldn't you potentially say that the artist is mocking the artistic ability of just anybody by saying that's the laughable best they can do?

You're giving them too much credit. It's not kinda neat. It's kinda ****ing boring.

Anyone who looks at a blue triangle and says 'kinda neat' just cause it's meant to be a good artist is a fraud. Plain and simple.

There's also circle too, it has nice colouration, interesting sort of spacial placement, a cold simplicity, and I didn't know who the artist was.

Quit being so insecure.

Oh I didn't realize there was a circle and you like the colors. On second thought you're right it's kinda neat.

Now you're just a conformist.

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.

It's one of those edgy circles. Normies call them rectangles sometimes.
