Mason --
I follow what you are saying -- just as I followed your initial post.
While I understand your position, I also understand that gallery comments will go where they will. What some drive-by commentator chooses to say is totally out of our hands. Even when the comment is totally irrelevant.
Your GWB comment-maker is probably so obsessed with Bush-hatred that they can look at a Monet painting......and see W's face leering back at them from among the hazy flowers of a 19th century summer's day.
Such is the passion of one of the polarized sides.........
I can't imagine which.
You could post a still-life picture of grapes in a bowl on a table -- and you'll get many different interpetations of the image. Depending entirely upon what the audience cares about.
And upon what their mind and heart "sees".
And not upon what you care about.
BTW......concerning that getting smashed in the teeth with ART thing........
It hurts equally badly whether one gets clobbered with a cheap bric-a-brac plaster statuette, or with a Michelangelo original sculpture.
It makes no difference at all to the resulting pain.
