I am bewildered by the American public!
I am trying to stay zen and a bit Buddish Girl (Buddha-ish) about this topic of the Michael Jackson 'OPUS' painting though I am finding it difficult!
Thank goodness that someone else recognizes this painting as a play on Michelangelo's 'David'.
I am amazed at the level of ignorance expressed in the commentary regarding this work. Have we actually arrived to the point where the public and press will determine that Old Master paintings and Renaissance works in the Louvre are considered lewd and pornographic?
Walk into a museum people....look at an Art History book for once in your lives!
CHERUBS EVERYWHERE and a favorite subject includes .....even JESUS in a loin cloth.
As for the continual commentary on the narcissism of Michael Jackson...yes he was self-important because, put quite simply, HE WAS IMPORTANT! He was a musical genius, a brilliant artist who lived and breathed his vision.
Great art is created by persons who have an unyielding focus and vision that cannot be compromised. There is not much room left beyond self and the expression that SELF creates.
I for one am extremely grateful for the creative gifts that we have been given due to the brilliance of these great visionaries throughout history.
Michael was tragically taken before his time but his extraordinary music, mind and immense heart shall live on for generations to come just as Michelangelo's sculpture of David still rests in Florence 500 years after its creation.
Love and Light Michael,
Buddish Girl
