Quote HistoryQuoted: Bingo what? Did you win the stupid lottery? Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Bingo Bingo what? Did you win the stupid lottery? Bingo as in, it’s an Andy Warhol print. It’s Pop Art and is not in any way a celebration of the person. People railing on about it are idiots. These two painting share the EXACT same subject matter:   They were both about Andy Warhol’s fascination with “celebrity.” If anything, it was an insult to Mao. In fact, the Chinese Communist Party has censored any display of the work, because it offends them. That portrait of Mao offends Chinese Communists and ARFCOM GD retards. Congratulations! |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yeah, and digitally blocking it out or changing the angle to hide it tells you everything, if you have a working brain. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Jesus Christ. This takes the cake as the most triggered thread of 2021 so far. And we're only two weeks in. Lol. Do some of you realize how fucking ridiculous you are when someone points out an artist, says nothing about the art itself, and the only retort you come up with is "but HITLER!!!!?!". Smells like Godwin's Law up in here. Yeah, and digitally blocking it out or changing the angle to hide it tells you everything, if you have a working brain. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Let's be a little more imaginative. Imagine that someone interviewed Ted Cruz in his home and he had a Warhol Hitler print on his mantle. You might shrug your shoulders at that, but the world would not. Frankly, I would think less of him in that situation. At best, these things are displays of "ironic edginess". But Mao killed 20 - 50 million people. I don't find that to be a suitable subject to display one's edginess. At worse (and more likely) he thinks Mao had a lot of swell ideas.

I couldnt care less about the Mao print. I think if you have any Warhol print on your wall, your probably potato when it comes to art, but again i dont care. Guy wasn't even good at the simplest form of art, which is silk screen print making. But if cringe is what you like, go for it.
The Pedo print was my issue, but im glad to find out it was shopped. |

What is offensive? This Ford clown giving an interview about the subject of political suppression, with a portrait of the world's all time champion of political suppression hanging in the background. Yacking about Trump, the most vile leader of our time, when the actual most vile leader of all time is right behind him. Yet he's either a fucking idiot and doesn't know, or he's OK with it. |
