Gravity's Rainbow. I saw it at the Birmingham Art Museum a few years ago and was basically mezmerized. I'm not much of an art guy but this one was 10/10.

That looks really bad, especially compared to what TC posted.

It's not really meant to appeal in the same way, so it's understandable that it might not strike you the same way as it does me. It's not really shooting for visual appeal, but instead what it looks like is some kind of signal. It invites my brain to try to calculate something about it, and I think the intrigue is actually trying to figure out exactly what.

I think this is vaguely the appeal of abstract art in general, but the blobs and splatters that you see in lots of abstract are just make my brain go "colors, whoopty-doo" in a similar way to the way some people probably look at GR and go "wow angles who cares" lol.
