People are getting so rough about Banksy now that he's such a big deal. His work is still just as wonderfully subversive as ever, but the hipsters knew about him years ago, so they're not up for giving him any credit. And because they have only the fleetingest knowledge—stretched thin as a whisper, no less—of art history, can't begin to realize what an astonishing work this is.
The Botticelli-style painting is pretty good too, but doesn't quite operate on as many levels as Banksy's.
Are you fucking kidding me?
Please... enlighten us with EXACTLY what levels this is working on?

I like it! At first I hated it cause I thought it was unoriginal and also being an image of Kate Moss. But look at this conversation that has come out of it. He made people talk and feel and as "simple" and "unoriginal" it may be, it has more impact then many other more orignal paintings. I like how it offends and has caused these uproars. To me thats art, but thats just me. nobzey

I don't see anybody in this thread that are offended. Just saying this is an artistic non-event.
Art is making something unoriginal and getting people to say its unoriginal? Shit, I should be an artist, I'd be the next Van Gogh. Matter of fact, I'm gonna go get some V-G prints to trace!
