You mean the millions of women who marched the following day were potheads... sad.

Not sure I understand what you are saying here, are you suggesting that women are treated equitably in corporate America? Doesn't this symbolic confro...

I don't think the girl, aside from the bull is much of a work of art, the girl confronting the bull, as a symbolic act installed the day prior to one ...

I very much agree that from the Bull's perspective the girl taps its power. She is supervenes over the Bull expanding on its representation of capital...

So because an abstraction is not reality, the results the mathematician arrives at must be matched up to reality (the translation) to determine if the...

I am not sure that 'weakness' as displayed in the Fearless Girl is weak. She is shaming it defiantly. "God chose what is weak in the world to shame th...

So then the concept of time is not needed for what mathematicians do, it becomes a question of frequency and repetition for them, not time. For the ma...

No, they are both legitimate, and I think it is fair to say that the introduction of the Fearless Girl onto the scene makes it relevant to our time. I...

A picture says a thousand words. Neither by connotation or denotation, only by location.

You mean like the confederate flag in the South? Oh yea they took a few of them down a couple of years ago up by you, didn't they?
April 15, 2017 at 18:28
I agree, Guernica is a great work of art, which deserves its own thread. I think it transcends its political aspect, as a work that demonstrates man's...

I think "superfluous" is the wrong word. The culture in US fetishizes imagery and the "Charging Bull" reifies "Wall Street a bunch of aggressively ent...
