You'd I think be the first person to argue that Banksy's art is too subtle for some people to get.

Whatever, but I'm saying they aren't trying. Understanding art, beyond the surface, takes work. Something in it provokes people, often a good signal.

I don't think understanding Banksy takes much work.

Maybe you're missing something. The sin is dismissing that even if you don't intend to pursue it. Especially when others say they see more - see my original comment.

Often, when I don't see something I later find I was looking in the wrong dimension (in a sort of geometric sense). Classical music aficionados rejected rock music as 'just noise'; they were looking for elements of classical music. Rock fans sometimes find classical boring for a similar reason.

In any case, I'm sorry you are missing out. :)

I love rock music. Banksy is the musical equivalent of My Chemical Romance.
