What do you think, Viktor Shklovsky?

Personally, I do not agree with the Russian Formalist method of critiquing literature and art, because I feel that content is extremely important, and that literature and art are a culmination of many different, things, not just linguistic techniques and literary methods. Any how, I created this sort of abstract drawing, thinking that maybe it's conducive to the Russian Formalist way of thinking in that the subject of the art doesn't matter, but the artfulness of the art does. The subject is just a collection of images and colors that came to my mind, but regardless of the subject, I utilized an artistic technique (or tried to) and, apparently that is all that matters.
