Controversial painter Banksy used Claude Monet's famous painting "The Pool of Water Lilies in Giverny" as material in one of his most controversial works. Some critics argue that the painting is a statement against the highly commercial art industry, and even shows the potential of art to disrupt and challenge and convey a message beyond any market.
Another group of critics argues that the work is not an original creation, but a replica of the painting, and the revolutionary message contained in the painting against the policies of capitalism bounced against Banksy himself.
