The Art Police, by Quinnster on Nov 12, 2013 9:57:51 GMT 1, After seeing a beautiful Faile Sub Rosa for sale due to the Art Police not think its suitable it made me think what else to people have that the Art Police won't allow on there walls.
I have a Gerald Genkins Marajauana girl that's banned at the moment...

Although I snuck a Warhol soup can onto the kitchen wall while she was away this weekend.
Generally we have the same sort of taste though.

The Art Police, by Trevorm on Nov 12, 2013 15:18:07 GMT 1, It's a pitched battle back at 'mine' at the mo.
We've recently decorated and I now find that stuff I had, previously been allowed apparently, up in the spare rooms (kids have all vacated) is denied access to being put back up. Mrs M has also declared now that the GR is far too aggressive! You couldn't make it up.
Mind you, she did pay for the painter.

The Art Police, by treweman on Nov 12, 2013 15:58:17 GMT 1, I'm the one who sold the Sub Rosa in question, and can report that it did not leave my collection because of the art police. I sold it to help fund the purchase of Herakut's For You I'll Do The Weirdest Shit OG, which would give most of the women in our lives a coronary. Frankly, naked women or sexually suggestive art isn't as much of an issue as some of the other art that I collect. I just arranged to buy Barron Storey's oil painting titled Goodbye which has suicide as the central theme. Perhaps even more visually disturbing is a piece I picked up earlier this year from a show at CHG by a artist named Junghwa Hong. The painting, titled Gul Meena Red, is her take on the attempted "honor killing" of a young Afghan woman by her family. Gul Meena was hit with an ax 15 times, but managed to survive. When I spoke with Jungwha about her painting, she shared that the idea was to show inner beauty and strength even in situations that might cause our stomaches to turn. And she nailed it. The art IS beautiful. This same general observation can be made about Alexandra Manukyan's painting Beautifully Damaged. A wonderfully seductive portrait of a woman missing her left arm. Most people immediately notice the prosthesis, but it is the look on the woman's face that lingers.
I guess my point is that Sub Rosa is extraordinarily tame compared to what you could be putting on the walls, and I think knowing a bit of the history of an artist or an image can make all the difference. Sub Rosa may on the surface be two scantily clad women kissing, but if that is all it had been, it wouldn't have been in my collection in the first place. The story of the print and what it represents is important, and changed how the women in my life viewed the image.

Go figure. My significant other claimed she liked only one piece art displayed in the house. When I pressed her, she revealed that it is Phlegm's Stilt.

I left it where it was.
"Honey, it's the only set of hooks that can hold that weight!"
and
"It's not two girls kissing, the mermaid is SAVING the woman from drowning by giving her oxygen."
works every time.
