Fine, John, stick a bunch of of that dark stuff in yer house, invite yer friends over and see how much of it gets any attention. Them folks was part of art when man was supposed to feal like he weren't worth nuthin'. Then came th "romantic" movement which led to "modern art" (1890's) with the post impressionists... The art came to *life*. Yeah, less painterly but more life... Purdy exciting...

Hey, I can appreciate where folks were when they were... but, hey, life and its art are gonna move along... Nature of the beast.
