I don’t know what is worse, the idea that a series of colored blocks is considered art or that someone decided it was worth copying?

I don’t see how this is worth a lot of debate but lets talk some basic facts:

1. Yes this is a copy of the first picture

2. The reason this is not brought up in polite company is the same reason why Professor Mary Lefkowitz needed to be attacked for her two books. Amazon reviews here and here.

3. The people who cry Racism at that suggestion are not to be taken seriously by intelligent people.

4. There is nothing insidious in the White House displaying this picture or putting it up to be seen

I think it is an indication of bad taste more than anything else, but the point of any kind of “art” is. “Does the person who possess is or view it like it?”
