Yes.

Since this is an image of happy, healthy, beautiful people, it would never  be
found in a museum of Contemporary Art. (even if it were a good photograph, or,
heaven forbid, a good painting)

But the prohibition against the positive representation of people may be
slackening, or at least exceptions are allowed on behalf of  cultural
diversity.

The newly opened Modern Wing at the Art Institute devoted a small room to the
contemporary artist,  James Kerry Marshall,  which featured large scale
paintings that celebrated happy young African Americans in love.

I'm not saying that public collections of contemporary art should only display
this kind of thing -- but it's a spiritual and moral failure to exclude
positive images of human life.
