i actually find this depressing! it seems very defeatist and closed off. it’s the use of the word “owns”…a bit aggressively possesive for me! how about “rules” or something else that leaves space for additions or overthrow!
They left out “Klimt owns Northern European women”, “Bosch owns animals with eyeballs growing out their backs”, “Dali owns watches left too close to the microwave”, and “Bottcelli owns really big shells”.
VUK VIDOR OWNS AN ART HISTORY BOOK.
(Vuk maybe if you combined this idea with your DC/Marvel comic book illustration style you might eventually have a slight chance of knowing what it feels like to own your own vision).
Reverse the word order, and I’d say you have something there. Geometry owns Mondrian, Drippings own Pollock, so on. Otherwise, the poster is about celebrity, not about art.

I just took a look at this and it seems it’s not a poster but a silkscreen. Ah, hand-pulled prints! :)

Yeah, I know, posters used to all be hand-pulled, but nowadays…I think of posters as reproductions.
