    "it's all relative. if you sent the guy back in a time machine he would win."

    that's tough to say. Don't get me wrong, the guy is flat out fucking amazing, but I just watched this documentary last night about Angels & Demons, and they showed Vatican City's art of, specifically Michelangelo and Bernini, and I gotta tell you - it's mindblowingly beautiful, and super-real, and FULL of symbolism that actually says something. So, not only was the art "new", but the ideas were new as well.

    All I see in Ventrone's work is fruit, vegetables, and burlap, with an occasional piece of marble thrown in.
