Why is Jason Pollock now offensive?

Bunch of Avantgarde denialists!

If its not a painted photo, its not art? If i dont understand it, its not art? If its meta its not art?

There is a popular conspiracy theory than nobody actually understands it and avantgarde artists are in fact con artists.

Not that I care enough to be offended, though.

And hell, if this is that "meta" meaning in their art, I must confess that I haven't got the joke until now :)
