The canvas is just the provocation. The actual art is the people paying to see it because his name is on it. It is insightful and hilarious. The best part is that the people who actually get to enjoy it are the ones who don't pay.
There's a lot more to art that purdy pichers.

Art, like Slashdot and Soylent news, does indeed depend on who signs the post. For instance, if David Duke created a login and posted a link to White Nationalist art, you all would call for him to be banned and beaten if not killed.
But, if some hipster posted a link to White Nationalist art, and added the disclaimer that he was half-black and doing it "ironically," you all would cheer and pay 500 bucks each for a "limited edition" print of that racism, because it would be "cool" to do so.
Niggers.
