I agree, Toilet. What I was gonna do was freeze-frame stuff from vhs that had a good composition (stuff from porno "films" like Andrew Blake) & that showed a minimal amount of "obscenity." The figures weren't going to be the only content either, unlike the painting porkmarras is calling our attention to which, if it is even Art with a capital "A," it's not very good or very important Art. Even Koons' "pornographic" works (the ones I've seen anyway) are not among any of his really good work, in my opinion.
All these years later, johnnywinternoshow has done something similar, only not with sex, but with violence. It's pretty brilliant of him too. Out of all the people in his graduating class (from the link he shared before), his paintings may not have been my favorite or the "best" formally (there were some incredibly gifted artists in his class), but his work is the most important and innovative, really.
