Beyond all that, the painting looks crappy.
I'd actually like to see the paintings. I'm not thrilled with the one in the illustration, but it would be interesting to see more of them.
I wonder if, in time, someone like Josh Stulman could send images to be posted on an alternative web site (like a thread a FR?). That way more people would be able to see his pieces than might just at Penn. And more discussion would ensue.
Actually, we don't know if he is indeed a conservative. But it is somewhat interesting that this is the second story in a day or two whereby the ruckus is over non-liberal views in art. I'm thinking, of course, of the "right wing attack chair" by another young art student (a blonde bombshell). It would be nice if the truly rebellious became conservatives, in the long-overdue swinging right of the pendulum.
