Art.

While, IMO most of the Graffiti called ‘art’, is an attempt to legitimize a subculture, from what I’ve seen I would slide him into the Art category.

Funny story.

Last year we went to the Whitney Museum.
My youngest, after about 3 floors, pulls my wife down close and says...

“Mommy, there are a lot of scribbles in here”.

Art Linkletter would have been proud.

You'll like this.

I love to trot this out to the class every so often.

Artist Carl Andre

But Wait, there's MORE!

And that's the end to the above story, we were upstairs and there were a couple dozen tiles on the floor, and my daughter got grabbed by the security guards, because she was about to walk on the 'sculpture' LMAO.

If Andre qualifies,Banksy's a no brainer ; -)
