That's not being fair to Banksy, as his work, whatever you might think of it, is at least an improvement from the likes of Mark Rothko.

- NoOneNew 6y agoBanksy is a profiteer. He has his own "team" that verifies his work. Come on. He's just a graphic designer that figured out how to make better money off people who are anti-system because it's the cool thing to do. If he really gave a shit about "the causes", theres a good saying that sums it up. You do more good from changing the system from within, rather than throwing pebbles at the windows.
- notduncansmith 6y agoChanging the system within is like running barefoot after the fellow who just stole your shoes. I’ll take the rocks and a slingshot, thanks.
- grugagag 6y agoBanksy is indeed a gimick but it is highly reflective of the era we live in. Rothko on the other hand was an experience which made me feel stupid for judging the work before I understood what it was about. If any of you have the chance to see his work go and spend a few minutes in front of each of his paintings. You’ll be surprised
