This is really one of the most negative articles I've ever read about Banksy and I think it's a bit refreshing. Not that I necessarily agree with some, all or any of it, but I think it's important to realize that there is and can be disagreement about what is considered "great" art. There's nothing wrong with walking into a museum, gallery or home and disliking the work...it's just important to know why.
