That'd make nice gift wrap paper

Ho ho, I think I had a pencil case that looked like this at uni... hahahahaha.

1972 wallpaper

Silet One
Good design for a deckchair

Like Frankenthaler, Riley speaks for women's rights in this colorful abstract. No two of her paintings are alike. Because you cannot see its merits, this does not mean that she hasn't created a telling and poignant piece. I am beginning to realize that anyone who cannot look at modern art is hack. Perhaps you'd prefer to return to the times before impressionism when people were taught what was good and bad art. Are you an elitist?

WOW ive been waiting years for coloured bar codes

This is actually upside down, i'm appalled at your lack of respect for such a classic, having said that, it looks shit the right way up.

man whoever made this is a fucking asshole. its just a bunch of fucking lines! and when you tell the artist that they go "oh, you dont understand. you dont feel the way i do." so i go "i guess so cuz this is SHIT!" and it is! the colors arent even very colorful! they are only pastels. i mean i would love it as a wallpaper but what the fuck? fucking art critics. just like theyr rich friends they got a twelve foot pole stuck up theyre ass and only a foot of that pole is visible.

Spirit of Dali
Exactly - they don't get it. The colors blend almost imperceptibly into a lot of big green wads of cash in Rileys' pocket and hoora for her too!
I wish I had copied from a color blindness chart and gotten paid big bucks for it too!
alas, I had to actually use skills and imagination, the hard way.

Sartori
It does look like bad wallpaper. In fact, I think I've seen some just like that.

Indigobluefish
Umm. Ew.
The more you try to focus on it, the more it hurts your eyes.
I agree with the cheap wallpaper/giftwrap Idea.
I think I saw it in my local Everything for £1 - at half price.

Person with eyes
This art says so much..... like a MUTE. I've had more entertaining falls to the ground.

Isn't this just gift wrap?

You don't get it..
You have to see the actual piece on a wall because the colors have a specific way of blending into one another that create a certain type of optical illusion that fools the eye into thinking it's seeing another color that isn't there. But go ahead and show the world what a bunch of vulgar boors you are by criticizing things you don't understand.

i think my sisters barbie doll has trousers like that, though it is possible im wrong, i dont think even barbie has that bad taste
