I'm upvoting this because others have downvoted without giving a reason, a strong sign that they have no defence. And I strongly agree with blackbear_, but I also like this comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24418408 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24418408 (I'm assuming the claim about the picture's authors is true, but it has much precedent eg. in L. S. Lowry). I've raged with ill manners here against fawning over art, accepting it because it is art so the courage to challenge its worth disappears (and silent downvotes appear). I'm not against art, I'm against unthinking conformity. A lot of 'art' just isn't - anyone care to debate? (Also of note https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24418220 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24418220) Edit: and within 30 seconds a downvote.
