...this is for you, ARTelevision because we share an appreciation for...what else...ART!
Below is one of my all time favorite artists, Klimt's "The Kiss". Then you will see a sort of parody of it by an unknown artist (unknown to me anyway...still searching) using elements from the rock band "KISS". It has a rather make-love-not-war look to it. Art, you and I can commiserate with one another as we lament the foolhardy tampering with Klimt's masterpiece.  But art is objective and there is humor and "creative expression" to lend it some value...you probably favor it for it's whimsical creativity. I don't know who the Pope is breathing his bad breath on (i assume that's what that green thing is on his nose) but I did laugh at his "blech!" expression

this artist's concept of world unity intrigues me:
The Longitudinal Installation I will place 12 pairs of shoes in a circle around the ceremonial South Pole as a temporary installation. Placing the shoes next to each other as a proxy for people across the globe, I aim to conceptually diminish the distance between them. -- Xavier Cortada  We are one global community. Creating this installation in a continent with no borders, the artist aims to diminish the man-made barriers in the world above it. Voices simultaneously stand in their place (longitude) around the world and inches away from one another. |

...and this is for seamaiden.
It reminds me somewhat of your avatar although not as lovely: By the way, I loved your post #300...the loving pic of Anne Frank was so appropriate to the topic and so poignant. Thank you
