This reply is so typically Saul. 'Don't worry about the facts. Just trot out the knee-jerk ideological answer.'
At least Imago's reply showed some thought. You do need to read some more art history though, Imago. In fact more history generally. But I am going to drop the issue. Too much to explain, too little time, and an audience - with the possible exception of Cheerskep - with too little interest in approaching the question with an open mind. And on top of that, too much unpleasantness. It's making me reply in the same vein and that's just a silly waste of time. As I said to Imago, some of the stuff on my website discusses aspects of the question. Eventually, there will be more to come... .
