EVER.<BR/><BR/>I realize that Massresistance's rant doesn't really derserve serious commentary; it should just be enjoyed for its sheer lunacy.<BR/><BR/>But I am a fan of fine art, so I can't let it pass.<BR/><BR/>No serious student of art, when presented with evidence that Michaelangelo may have been gay would start thinking about anal intercourse. Rather a serious student of art would wonder whether it mattered or not, and might well then contemplate whether Michaelangelo's art was in any way informed by his life experiences. Good art often operates on several levels simultaneously. One can enjoy and artist's work for its own sake, but that same art can take on a much greater meaning if one learns and then considers the artist's personal experiences and worldview.<BR/><BR/>Indeed, I will go so far as to say that those who try to separate the artist's work from the artist are seriously diminishing the wonder and message that artist is attempting to convey.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03277613176895587358noreply@blogger.com
