New MBW print, by Deleted on Apr 9, 2014 22:48:08 GMT 1, Can I ask peoples opinions of 'Napalm' ?.
imo one of the best, chilling, potent but a very direct and effective message, it might actually be my favourite image. Not a family friendly piece but as a work of art its incredible, you might've guessed but i like it

2) Don't read forums, newspaper or online articles about him.
My last opinion is always if you could do better, get on with it.
I myself can't and therefore don't.

While subjective less than constructive criticism is tiresome at best, being told not to have an opinion if you don't like something is even more so.

The problem I have as someone who lives in NYC and has hit places like MOMA (on school field trips 30+ years ago) and pretty much will go from the Morgan to see Goya drawings to Outsider Art fairs is that MBW doesn't really have anything to say.
His work is by and large literal cliche.

As such it invites artistic interpretation.

Decidedly average would still be better and not good enough to bother with. MBW for me is what I'd imagine the ikea art department would come up with if the brief they were given was for "urban art"... |

Yep. The difference is that Banksy recreated the flag raising with "ghetto" kids on a burnt out car and changed/added to the meaning.
A statement about America and who's country it is, etc...
Brainwash just changed the flag for a brush.

New MBW print, by Hubble Bubble on Apr 11, 2014 9:52:42 GMT 1, HS -- of course, I understand the differences in the appropriation of the image by the different artists but thought I detected a 'this image is sacrosanct and shouldn't be used' feeling in some of the posts. If that's the case I simply wondered if that feeling applied to Banksy's use of it.
