Great artists are always messengers of Truth. They may not speak through verbal language, or even the written word. But through their personal creativity, they are able to communicate deeper thoughts, and feelings, that conventional language often times cannot. And they do this in such a way that their chosen form of expression comes to be known invariably as Art.

With that said, here is a collection of some of the most brilliant modern day art around.

Assuming that is not the case, then I would apply my comment to the author of the article as opposed to the artist and artwork itself.

If your only standard to mocking something is that it is "not a good thing", have fun making fun of cancer patients and drowning victims, and follow up (yet again) with "why would you think that's offensive" to anyone who takes exception to it.

Bless your little heart. Your a special little fella.
