If your idea of traditional art is "bowls of fruit and historical figures", then I'd respectfully suggest that you may not be hugely in touch with art....

Yeah, I think 90% of museum art was made for old dead barons and aristocrats to whom I share little similarity.

And 100% of that stuff takes the piss out of the people it was made for in subtle and clever ways. It's deeper than you think, but you have to read around rather than look at the art to get it.

Hmm, that sounds interesting.

Could you point me to a good example of art subverting its patron?
