I liked how the TS Eliot one which the author calls "sublime" was actually impressively sophomoric. It really was like a painting an able, shallow person would come up with to reflect their idea of TS Eliot's poetry.

That in a sense is uncanny and notable.

I went and stared at the pictures for a bit after reading this.

Not much experience of art really, but I think you're probably right. They're all interesting pictures - but "let's assemble some related elements in a new combination".

I did really like “a face like an M.C. Escher drawing” though.
