Re: Talk of interest to visual studies folks

This request is politically motivated.  I do not think it should be  
allowed on a moderated site.

p.s.  Having compared pictures of the murals to Taylor's other work,  
these
murals are lifeless and look like they were done by a 2nd year high  
school
student with some talent.  They do not compare to her portraits,  
figuratives
or landscapes, which show her mature talent.  I would have to agree  
that the
majority of the panels are pro-union.  Whether the governor of Maine  
has the
right to take them down is not an argument that I will enter, that is  
for
the people of the great state of Maine.

MODERATOR'S NOTE: The original post contained the passage "the  
bonehead Tea Party Maine Governor" and that opinionated adjective  
should have been removed. For that, I apologize. But as the overall  
objective related to the subject matter of this list, I still see no  
objection to its inclusion.--Darryl
MODERATOR'S NOTE # 2:  As the person who first handled this note, I  
need to say that I should have picked up that phrase as well, but I  
let it go by in a moment of inattention.  I also apologize for letting  
it go through.  But apart from that phrase, I think that judgments  
about the relative worth of visual artifacts is an appropriate central  
issue for the list.  Political views are, of course, necessarily and  
implicitly a part of such judgments, whatever side they come down on.
