Design Debate

My iPhone finally looks as cool as it should! When I at last got the iPhone 4 I had a sudden fear that I would scratch it, so bought a very dull case that made it look extremely drab.

Saeed Ahmed whitewashed the wall that featured Banksy's "Gorilla in a Pink Mask", while a man spray painted onto "The Adoration of the Golden Calf" by Nicolas Poussin. The result of Ahmed's DIY is below. Whitewashed Wall - Saeed Ahmed Photograph - Daily Mail While Poussin's painting and its current state are here. The Adoration of the Golden Calf - Nicolas Poussin Photograph - The Guardian Spray Paint - Vandal Photograph - The Guardian What struck me by these two parallel incidents is the similarity of the response by the art world. Yet Banksy's piece was created from the same media used to damage Poussin's, and in a similar manner, while Ahmed has probably painted over other graffi...
