yet another boring, academic study...immolated, before the monsoon, as a protest of 'good enough looking mediocrity'.....that fills most of the Civilized World's billions of walls........Art's oatmeal, white loaf bread and 'drive-through' chow........its ashes may be served in a cake, dumped over the garden wall, or placed in a thrift store sepulture with a note: this box contains the ashes of a portrait of a forgotten art school model who was paid 5 bucks to 'just sit there', changing poses every 8 minutes, for 3 quarters of an hour of wasted time........ and sold at a porch sale for a dollar.........Does anyone remember Justin Satterfield Jr.? probably not....... Yet, if this were a very crappy portrait of a very famous person, done by an 'important' painter.......it might hang in a place of honor.....in an important Museum....as spectators stare, in awe, at it....declaring it a work of Genius!
