"Art is educating, provocative, and enlightening even when first not understood . . . creative confusion stimulates curiosity and growth, leading to trust and tolerance. . . . It was not until I realized that it is the celebration of the differences between things that I became an artist who could see." ~ Robert Rauschenberg (1984)

Seems that art could be confusing or perhaps could seem almost too simple but with underlying layers.
I like the redone Mona Lisa, but as with a good portion of art, I don't know precisely why I do. I just do.
But then again, I think I just iterated the first part of what the quote said. So there it is. :p
I love the outrage that public art can sometimes generate (usually of the "my kid could draw this" variety). At least it generates discussion?
Erik, I love religious iconery in art!
