It is there to be enjoyed as a whole by the 'viewer' (and I use that term loosely) so that s/he may gain a perspective on the feelings of another (the 'artist').

I'm sure I won't be the only Pixie around here to take exception to that last comment Dadaist. My advice: tread carefully.

Once again we see the problem with posting text only and trying to use just smilies to inject a little humor into a bit of text. I wasn't being for a moment serious about a study, for artistic reasons or any other. I'm only trying to point out the blurs that exist between "popular" connotations of certain terms, and personal connotations of the same terms. Anything at all in life, be it sex or art or anything else, is as serious or as fun as any one person makes it out to be.
My only purposes in starting this thread were a) the topic came up in another thread and I thought the subject should stand alone on its own and b) stimulate conversation about the aforementioned connotations, whether personal or societal. I'm sorry you misinterpreted an attempt at a little levity.
