Actually, Epona, that was exactly the kind of response that I was trying to elicit. I actually am a big fan of Picasso (two engravings in my entry hall, admittedly minor pieces, The Three Graces and Nestor Tells of the Trojan War, unsigned except on the block, alas) and I have read two excellent books on modern art, Good Old Modern, by Alistair Horne, and The Painted word, by Tom Wolfe. I, however wonder that the posing of questions about the nature of art cannot be overdne. Aren't there other questions to ask and answer? Is all representational art worthless? And, is art that is only aimed at a small, sophisticated audience relevant? Questions, questions.
