Anyone interested in aesthetics or art should find Hogarth's The Analysis of Beauty (available on the internet) a good read.

According to a wall text written by Barrett, for example, a 1757 self-portrait showing Hogarth sitting on a wooden chair should be seen within the context of slavery. “The curvaceous chair literally supports him and exemplifies his view on beauty,” she writes. “The chair is made from timbers shipped from the colonies, via routes which also shipped enslaved people. Could the chair also stand in for all those unnamed black and brown people enabling the society that supports his vigorous creativity?”.

These people are insane. An old chair is now racist. They’re sick. They, minimally, need to be humiliated. Rightfully, they need to be tarred and feathered.

Sometimes a chair is just a chair.

Great artists can be unpacked and interpreted anew by each generation—that’s part of what makes them so important.

The reinterpreters get to be criticized too. These deserve a boot up the ass. IMHO.

I thought this was about the guy who replaced Fish in Marillion.
