You do have a point. After I wrote my comment I looked into propaganda some more. Just for the fun if it. Someone who doesn't seem to be fond of Banksy's work wrote this: "Instead of portraying a rich human being with mysterious emotions, Banksy gives us a one-dimensional icon whose pathos is instantly readable. This makes him a brilliant propagandist. He never allows room for ambiguity." "He has invented the artistic equivalent of a tweet. You see it, you get it."

But it is what the masses wants and if nothing else he is exceptionally CLEAR. You know exactly what he means at a glance. I can appreciate that. https://www.christies.com/en/artists/banksy?lotavailability=All&sortby=relevance
