But hey, either the Louvre or the Art Institute of Chicago could object<br />to misrepresentation of its displays and of its security policies.

Perhaps the...Thanks for the kind comment, George! <br /><br />Perhaps the point here is that the contested image was a commercial, not proper "art". I'm sure that the armed David on a painting wouldn't have raised such a mess. But some Italians need to yell their patriotism and pacifism, and Armalite is a commercial company. Which produces guns. From Illinois. <br /><br />You know...<br /><br />All the best!<br /><br />AlbertoAlberto Bellanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07713782540062346962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-1072115309724508512014-03-11T16:30:12.782+00:002014-03-11T16:30:12.782+00:00I still smart from the Red Bus decision, and I am ...I still smart from the Red Bus decision, and I am a great lover of provocative art. I would be very sad if political correctness would also remove this last vestige of free expression. Not the least the provocative juxtaposition of clashing concepts is so important. So what, if some find it vulgar? Quickly move on to something more soothing, like soma!<br /><br />Thank you for letting these images have a longer life on the web.<br /><br />Kind regards,<br /><br /><br />George Brock-Nannestad<br /><br />P.S. for once a Captcha that is readable!<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-49465031367334803452014-03-11T11:36:01.421+00:002014-03-11T11:36:01.421+00:00I could not agree more.

If Italian politicians have rights to the statue, the State of Israel can claim rights to the persona and demand that the immodest statue be destroyed.Michael Factorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04123446401953344964noreply@blogger.com
