http://www.sporf.net/ Ursus Wehrli tidies up art: Ursus Wehrli shares his vision for a cleaner, more organized, tidier form of art: Art Video Ursus Wehrli tidies up art: TED Talk Ursus Wehrli shares his vision for a cleaner, more organized, tidier form of art -- by deconstructing the paintings of modern masters into their component pieces, sorted by color and size.

Swiss comedian and experimental artist, Ursus Wehrl, in his “Tidying Up Art” series, reorganizes famous paintings, stacking up their elements by size, color or form, or by otherwise sorting out the unbearable mess of modern art.

He tries to make us believe he is doing the original artists a favor by organizing them. His TEDx talk video is funny and excruciating.
