Personally I think the figures look comically drawn, in the same emotional propagandic way Jack Chick draws his figures... but I fail to see why the Right resorts to such violent, Krystalnacht-esque response to what it doesn't agree with.
From the Associated Press:
A San Francisco art gallery has been closed following a series of verbal and physical attacks apparently related to a painting that depicts U-S soldiers torturing Iraqi prisoners.
The latest incident came Thursday night outside the Capobianco gallery, when an unknown assailant punched gallery owner Lori Haigh in the face. Previously, someone threw eggs and dumped trash on the doorstep and someone else spat in her face.
Haigh says she's closing the gallery indefinitely because of concern for the safety of her two children, who often go with her to work.
Ah, you just said 'violence', you didn't make it clear that it was in this context, though perhaps I should have guessed that. But would that make Banksy, the bloke who gatecrashed Prince William's birthday and then tried something on at the opening of the Chapman exhibition and those two Chinese artists who had a pillow fight on Tracey Emin's bed right-wing.
i´m an artist myself and i can say: violence against modern art is mainly "right"-based, but it depends on the kind of modern art; too naturalistic artist are often attacked by "lefts", though their attacks are more sophisticated and intelligent. "rights" are often very... simple.

No it wouldn't. I didn't say all satire of modern art came from the right.
