Kanye West’s intermittent tweets about art always make my day, so you can imagine my joy when I saw these tweets pop up in my feed:

\[Deleted Tweet\] “Like yo this Mark Rothko is the shit! You see it works. This is a break through people. I now know how to communicate art! YES!!!!”

Kanye would probably like William Powhida’s brand of art and art world criticism, embodied here in [this fucking drawing](http://williampowhida.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Rant%5Flarge.jpg?ref=hyperallergic.com) that he posted on his [goddamn Twitter](http://twitter.com/powhida?ref=hyperallergic.com). Those [October jackasses](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October%5F%28journal%29?ref=hyperallergic.com), they got nothin’ on this shit. ‘Bout to go [Krauss](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosalind%5FKrauss?ref=hyperallergic.com) up in this bitch. YES!!!
