John Constable was a full academician at the Royal Academy. I'm not sure that he was thought much of at the time! |

But it's got people talking and discussing, even if views are polarised. And that is what art's all about - it's not just paintings of nice cottages with roses round the door next to a meandering stream..... |

I was told by my ex that modern artists are indeed trained to paint well but the likes of Picasso had to un learn all that they were taught and to paint like children. Oh well...what was the point of being trained in the first place. |

I have No Problem with abstract art as long as the artist can paint,/Sculpt but there are far to many who think they can and just cant! |

Striking bit of sculpture Rox in my opinion, although only seen it on the telly and in the papers - not seen it "in real life". |

And my opinion is that the bible is well worthy of a bit of defacement, but that's just me. Considering the trouble it's caused over the years, a few rude words on it aren't really out of place :-) |

I doubt that any religious books have caused any problems in themselves, it's just the people who have taken control of them that have done that. In my opinion. |

Yes, I suppose that's true. We're not really meant to stone people to death for working on a Sunday after all. People will always take written works too seriously. |
