What a brilliant work of art! Those Chapman boys have nothing on
Barschak. He was merely mimetically extending their own expression in
such a way that it ridiculed them. How can they fault it, other than
claiming bruised egos?

Consider Aaron Barschak, the so-called comedy terrorist who
gate-crashed
Prince William's 21st birthday party. In October 2003, he appeared in
court on a charge of criminal damage. Barschak had interrupted a talk
by
Jake and Dinos Chapman at the Modern Art Oxford gallery. The Chapman
brothers were discussing their exhibit The Rape of Creativity, which
features cartoon heads superimposed on a series of etchings by Goya.
Barschak had splashed red paint on one of the artworks, and on Jake
Chapman, shouting: "Viva Goya!" He claimed he was creating his own
artwork, made out of another's art just as the Chapmans had adapted
Goya, and that he intended to enter his work for the Turner prize.
Finding him guilty, district judge Brian Loosley said:
"This is a serious offence of wanton destruction of a work of art . .
.
Even by modern standards and even stretching the imagination to
incredulity, this was not the creation of a work of art."
