Asked why the figures are unclothed, the 43-year-old Wallner said, "Under our clothes, we are all naked. "

Gee, there's a brilliant rationale for you.

Well, that's the kind of a mural one gets for $1200 grant. Sistine ceiling cost Julius II the equivalent of $200000. One gets what one pays for. Cheapskates!

Time, place and manner regulations are not censorship, and sounds like they might be necessary in this case, although I haven't seen the offending mural.

Well, as John Lennon once said, "There may not be much difference, between Chairman Mao and Richard Nixon, if they both stand naked...."

More obscene art crap.

So where are the PICTURES?? You must have pictures for a post like this. Now I'll have to go search for myself.

"I haven't decided if I like it or I don't," said Nick J. Stevens, a junior from Athol who took a few minutes yesterday to look at the mural. Some Athol looking at naked people....

Reminds me of an old joke.

Starving painter is given a task by a Boston matron to paint "Custer's Last Thought's".

Painting uncovered revealed indians in all kinds of weird sexual poses. When asked how that was Custers last thought, the painter said " Custers last thought was "look at all the F***ing indians"".

I can't evaluate it until I see it.

"Your mission, Jim, should you decide to accept it, is to find out if this woman is naked under her clothes."

They could have gotten a bunch of middle schoolers to do that for the price of a pizza party. They already do it on bathroom walls, so what the hell?

A picture is worth a thousand words, someone said.

Pee on the wall. Who'll notice?

My alma matter, making me so proud...

One school has 9 and 10 year old kids put in jail for drawing this kind of stuff. Then another school pays money for this guy to draw the same kind of stuff. ?

Why not just portray everyone as skeletons. After all under all that skin and flesh, we are just bones.

If you want to see some great art at the Hampden Gallery you should go to Steve Foley's exhibit starting on the 14th of February. I've been following this guy since he was at the Lowe Gallery in Syracuse and his sculpture is innovative and fresh, yet remains accessible. He's also a clearly gifted in his chosen medium--clay.
