Earlier quoted context omitted.

Not entirely. This also requires HTML.

You know, I was going to write that it was a given since CSS is applied to a markup language so you need some sort of markup, and that you were being pedantic. But then I thought it would be neat if someone were to make the Mona Lisa as ASCII art using only valid CSS, thus rendering a truly pure CSS version. I guess you could further argue that it isn't pure CSS because it also involves something to display the text.

What would be nice is the source code of the code generator that did that CSS so everyone can post tomorrow their favorite image in pure CSS...

I've always said that recreating the Mona Lisa is the 'Hello World!' of the art community. Curious to see the two combining like this.

I thought Lenna was the Hello World of the art community. Or is that the image processing community? :P http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenna
