1. artist who is said to have been a key player in the "destructivism" movement, smashing pianos and killing chickens in protest to the Vietnam War (yes, it's ridiculously stupid, but he didn't think so). after his lame career fizzled out and he helped found some stupid museum no one goes to, he became a professor at Mason Gross (Rutgers University), where the 74 year old pervert still teaches to this day. now, he has a much more important role smashing college students' dreams, telling them everything they do is wrong, and pretending he knows everything when in reality he knows little about anything at all.

2. term used to describe an arrogant prick; references artist from 1960s.
"Who cares what he thinks, he's just another Raphael Ortiz."
