Is it just me, or does anyone else see a striking similarity between this artists(?) comments and Blather's rationalizations?

Artistic interpretation of spelling would have been a valid argument, had the other 150+ names been spelled correctly. What really shocks me is that no one noticed it before the opening of the library, or viewed the piece during the two years of storage.
Our government dollars at work.

It's not my fault the words are misspelled. It's your fault that you're trying to read the words. Just 'feel' the art. Correct spellings don't mean anything.

However, by that token, maybe "John F Kerry" REALLY is spelled "Geo W Bush" -- ya think?
LOL

This is too funny!
Michelangelo can paint the bleedin' Sistine Chapel by hand, while this 'artist' can't spell his name.

The mistakes wouldn't even register with a true artisan, Alquilar saidPINGING Rush Limbaugh. Whining Liberal of the Year contender, right here!

Well, if you hire an artist from Miami, it's not realistic to expect proper spelling.

>> "The people that are into humanities, and are into Blake's concept of enlightenment, they are not looking at the words," she said. "In their mind the words register correctly."
Another barking moonbat. I'd like to get a bit ahead of the curve here and nominate her for international prizes plus a plum job at the National Endowment for the Artisans.

There were plenty of people around during the installation who could and should have seen the missing and misplaced letters, she said. That's it, blame someone else for your stupidity. Don't take personal responsibility for your work. Moron.

My brother worked for a construction company that did a lot of big-time road paving, etc. Anyway, they had to sub out some work pouring curbs and the job had to go to a minority contractor. That minority contractor (Hispanic) proceeded to pour the curbs
with all the forms in backwards!!! The client demanded that the curbs be replaced and reinstalled correctly and when my brother's company went back to the sub-contractor to tell them to fix the curbs, that contractor threatened to sue for harassment and civil rights violations.
The "artiste" in this story, Maria Alquilar, sounds to me like she has that same kind of protected-class, affirmative-action sense of entitlement. A mindless arrogance. I haven't seen her work, but I bet anything it sucks. Attention to detail is important in everything anyone does.
To: Nasty McPhilthy
This is beyond pathetic. There is ALWAYS a preliminary design submitted for approval before the commission is awarded. How could these mistakes have been overlooked before its execution and installation. The attitude of the "artist" is breathtakingly stunning and she should fix it at her own expense.
To: Nasty McPhilthy
No, what you see here is a culture in free-fall; in the political correct movement of "leave no idiot behind" we have instilled in all these ego-gluttons a coarse edge of not only entitlement but absolute license.
The big question here is why the library is wasting money on murals and not buying books?
