And wouldn't it be a GOOD think if they were a tolerant enough society to accept that? I think it shows what a great place this is to live that Serrano can live and work here. After all I find a lot of religious painting absolutely horrible- I hate the John the Baptist stuff, with his head on a platter. I MUCH prefer naked live people as subject matter, as compared to dead heads on dinner plates. And all those painting of the last judgment- where sadists really let their imaginations run wild- ugh- creepy. I found a whole bunch of Serrano's work on the web- it's very interesting.

I am glad life is relatively unrestricted here. No one need see Piss Christ if they don't want to. No one will force you to read The Alexandria Quartet. No one will force you to go to avant garde theatre productions. But it's great they are there. What is REALLY great art will survive, or at least some of it will. What is pure shock value will die, I suspect. Hard to tell which is which without the passage of time.
