[edit] Lack of Creativeness

People will think this absurd, but I believe this work lacks creativity. Why? The few pictures I could see are plainly based on the Surrealist school, namely Max Ernst's and René Magritte's works in the 20's and 30's. Well, if you remember Dali's, then Codex Serapinianus, besides being beautiful and amusing, it's not original but a mix of different artists of the past. Pure pos-modernist tongue-in-cheek art. And a VERY expensive art at that! 201.19.129.247 01:42, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
