The article claims that "“My Year of Rest and Relaxation” (2019) might be the trailblazer for this century’s spate.". Well, according to the wayback machine, standard ebooks was doing it in 2015.
Standard ebooks have a black rectangle near the bottom with the title and author in white text. Very legible regardless of the painting colors, color blindness, etc.
Most of the examples in the article, the colors hurt my eyes. That's not a figure of speech, my eyes hurt looking at hot pink over grey. On some of them, the text is placed without regard to the background picture so the forground/background contrast is all over the place. "Dream State" is tasteful with the sky extended and the text subtly behind the mountain. Most of these look like they hired somebody off fiver; somebody got paid $5 for 5 minutes of work.
