When I was in Utah last I saw this painting at the Springville Museum of Art. I got a kick out of it. It's such a clever statement about the nasty commercialism that art faces. Is it impossible to be prey to trendy art fads? I think we all are in on it in some way or another. Creating art that is beyond the fads, classic, timeless, enduring... that's a challenge. Is it really possible, or are we just swimming against the tide of our time?
