Hi CB, The hallmark of a yokel/yahoo Well that like art is so subjective that's 'Let's not go there' :o) I've never seen "Voice of Fire" in a gallery, What's to see. Follow Maurice's link. It wouldn't be helped by a gallery except maybe as an example of a room divider in some new age office concept. Compare it to your links. What do you get ? a contrast of the sublime with the banal. Well maybe I'm being overly generous ther but yours aren't the dull ones :o) re: Art appreciation. We are members of the ROM (Royal Ontario Museum) and used to often go to Le Musée des Beaux Arts regularly when we lived in Montréal. One of the highlights of our annual pilgrimage to Ottawa / Hull during the Winterlude is visiting Museums of all genre. Some I like and some I don't but I don't get perturbed, I'm just going to be entertained and sometimes the entertainment is better than other times. What elicits such a pleasant response from me re: Voice....... is the fact that it was foisted upon us taxpayers at no small cost, we are expected to 'enjoy' it and hold it up as a paragon of Canadian art......It's 3 vertical lines for God's sake. It's the colour version of 'White Line Fever'. No imagination, no thought (worth remembering). Geez the old television test patterns were more creative and cheaper too. It's colossal example of 'in your face' of government waste. I take back what I said about 'tequila Sheila' (Sheila Copps), at least she is entertaining. I was at Home Depot* this morning. In the aisle where one finds the spray paint you can see examples all over the floor where people have tested the colour on the floor. I call it 'Shades of Uncertainty'. It's quite dynamic, displaying an ever changing vista of colours in every hue imaginable, and best of all it's free ;o) * Home Depot They paved over Beaver and put up a Home Depot - Apologies to Joni ;o) While I'm here, something on topic: I see Gold and Unemployment are both up today. Goit Gold ? Got a Job ? regards Kastel a cute and cuddly Canadian
