buy this crap ]      [ more Newman... ]

Barnett has to be taking the piss here...surely! Artists are meant to produce things that make you think and fill you with a sense of wonder about how they did it and how they came up with it...I could do this. I mean, who couldn't do this?

What would Da Vinci, Rembrandt or Van Gogh say if you went up to them and said "Hi, here's my latest work". The biggest fuckwit is the person who bought this. Man! What a dumbass!

An intelligent point of view, well eprxessed! Thanks!

Todd Prichardson
I can do this. Hell, I have done this! This looks like cheap wallpaper or an advertisement flyer. I would not pay more than five cents for this. I seriously hope this didn't take Newman more than an hour to make.

I thing the white background represents society, and the purple lines are people. I think it's saying that... lines... are things. And purple. Or something. Either that or it's just a pile of wank.

hmmm i just cant figure out what he is trying to get across here, its just so complex

Den Watts
COULD NOT AGREE MORE !

The Faux Artist
Is modern art crap? FauxArtist.co.uk ... Follow the experiment!!

rubbish, a baby could have done this.

Thomas J Wright
Simplistic work doesn't automatically make it 'simply profound'. The assumption of the possession of profundity in modern minimalist work is absurd.

It is like assuming that a given slab of tarmac on the road is profound because of its pure texture and appearance - yet it is no more arbitrary then much of this work is.

Two lines of colour can only ever hold so much meaning, and anyone who argues otherwise is either a fool or a con-artist.

ThisPaintingIsShit
HOLY HELL TWO RECTANGLES GENIUS

probably took longer to come up with a name then to paint this crap,thats including washing the brushes.


john
Its the bars of a jail cell, clearly anyone who would buy this crap would need locking up

kim
This looks like a pregnancy test strip. If he's having triples do you think he will be inspired to paint a crooked triangle?

lwr
the number 11?

sobico
What a crock of shit ... and to think that some prick would actually buy this crap.

Harry
