Can you believe this is a normal question I have to answer? Why do people pretend to love art, then ask to change it? In my line of work, I deal with a variety of different artwork.. mainly the classics. Without getting into great detail, we basically reproduce it into a different form. But I want to scream when someone asks, "I LOVE the Creation of Adam.... but can you remove Adam's penis?" WHAT?!?!? Or today, they are attacking my favorite painting. "I really love the piece Birth of Venus by Alexandre Cabanel.. but can you remove Venus? I just want the cherubs. Oh, and can you remove the penises of the cherubs?" Of course I want to scream at them and hang up.. but I'm greedy. I'll add her husband's penis, if that's what she wants. Because I have no standards. However, I do appreciate art. If I ever open a showroom I am going to cover my office wall with the penis details of thousands of paintings. It's going to be.. well... interesting to say the least. But I do wish these people would stop. "I really like the piece Danaides by Waterhouse. But that urn has a scary face, can you remove it?"... Did you even READ the story? I personally don't like modern art. Modern, as in a big red and blu blob that 'moves' people. Please. But I appreciate everyone is different. Would I ever walk into a gallery and say, "I like that piece there... but the solid black doesn't work for me. Could you add some flowers and maybe a mountain.. OH, and some people fishing wearing a t-shirt that reads, 'If you can read this the bitch fell off'?!?!?!" THANKSS!!!!!! Do I come to their jobs and say, "HEY!! This is a great cheeseburger.. but the special sauce offends me!! Get rid of it!!" Nhooooo.. because if I don't want their special sauce.. I don't pretend to be a special sauce lover!
OK. Cooling jets now. I'm off to remove penises....
