What? No, it's a critique of the art. It points out that the images are unfunny satire, or earnest political right-on-itude, or just trying out photoshop filters.

Honestly, they could have just posted the images and that would have been condemnation enough. I mean, good for him for making money, but let's not pretend this is interesting art for anyone over fifteen.

I appreciate the art critic posting this, because I wouldn,t have seen the images otherwise. I find them both hilarious and thought-provoking, as I do the writer's snobbish dry analysis.

Humor is a matter of personal taste. Art isn't craft.

Sure! People who forward Facebook posts for their biting political wit will love this stuff, and who am I to disagree?
The artwork doesn't remotely strike me as the kind of thing one would typically see on Facebook. More 4chan, Tumblr, etc.
