Y'know, I suspect certain groups of modernist painters would have a field day with CSS. De Stijl for instance would love it. There is something so elegant and fun about using a medium that forces you to use only circles, rectangles and a few select curves under a few simple transformations.
I was visiting a 20th century art gallery and was joking with my friends about which painters could be implemented in CSS (Yves Klein ofc). Maybe I should go ahead and do it. There's a few Mondrians that'd be fairly easy.

- tapland 7y agoOk. It crashes my galaxy s9s chrome browser so let's put up a warning about it being an insane browser expwriment
- cookie_monsta 7y agoThat's weird - works fine on Chrome on my s8
- larkeith 7y agoSeems to be okay on Firefox on my S5 (though it takes a minute to load), in case you want to view it.
- ebg13 7y ago> You can go pretty darn far with CSS if you are ok with multiple divs... Of course, if you're OK with multiple divs, the ultimate extension is to just make a giant rectangular grid of 1x1 pixel divs and color them appropriately.
- dannyw 7y agoOr you can use `background-image: url()` in a single div, but that's cheating too ;)
