Not art in Chinese

Chris Devers spotted this graffiti on a building in East Somerville and wondered what it meant.

Our own Kaz reports it says "Not Art." Really.

Top two characters are "bu" and "shi".

Literally says "Is not art," but they probably should have used the word "fei" instead of "bushi," since that sounds kinda clunky, like something a 20-something living in Somerville would come up with on Google translate

It should read from right to left, top to bottom. Good try with Google translate, but not quite right.

Way clunky. Sounds like a load of bu shi.
