Self-Referential(It's About The 'Idea' Of Painting)

And if any of the above qualities sound familiar, don't be surprised by what day it is today. He managed to touch the world of high art and the public at large. All at the same time. And all while he was alive. I suppose you could say he was a brand within himself. The last image is intentionally in the incorrect orientation.
