On another note, I can totally see Larisa taking even more pleasure in destroying his work, knowing the history. She’s just that evil… and I love her for it! >)
I think someone agrees with Larissa…

Coincidence?
I LOVE that comic!
Toutates/Toutatis is a celtic god actually……though responding to a comment this old is just silly of me

Yes. It’d take all of ten minutes to paint two blocks of color. If that long.
I’m sorry, but I feel that in order to be a painting, the image must actually show something. The Cistene(sp?) Chapel, The Mona Lisa, Venus, these all took quite a bit of time, and have quite a bit of detail in them. Multi-colored blocks that can be done in less than a day hardly count as paintings, and should not be held in the same, or even a similar reverence to a true work of art that took time and effort to create. Larisa should be held as a hero for this.
@ Anonym:
I know I am like a year late in commenting on this comic (I just found it and I love it!) but I agree these works are over valued. I would love to hear what any of the Rothko fans have to say though about what makes it so valuable. An intelligent reason, not just “because other people call it art”
I’d extend this treatment beyond modern art and include photography. So far as “art” goes, few things annoy me quite as much as some numpty with a camera getting as much credit for it as painters who put actual time and effort into their work.

To be fair, photos don’t generally generate the 6 figure price tags that the crap that gets called art these days does. Hell, there’s far more skill in the lighting and composition of good photos than in the “Art”.

Come up with the right smart-ass title and a little bullshit spiel about it, and I bet it would.

Yeah, she looks seriously hot in that last panel. I take it that’s an older version of herself she’s imagining, since she’s not that well endowed normally.
That is not abstract art that is Formalistic art I destroy those who make that mistake within stabbing range (or burning but meh…)
