Why can't we have an art appreciation corner on FB?

To add to that, I don't 'get' paintings or sculpture. Not in the same way I understand prose or poetry.

Alfred Kubin's "War Personified" would be a start.

The first commando exacting the first commandment? (but stamping on the sixth, by the looks of that foot and those standards).

Are you rocking the midget jazz-films? This lad I know did, his sister found it and loved it more than him. Weird.

Alexis Hunter - Considering Theory (1981).

Maybe a hint of the Ensor painting above. But this one is not a sardonic visual gag about people arguing the toss to the point of futility, ~ it seems rather a feminist take on a habitual male ideology of right, might and wrong.
