Thank you -- difficult to look at --
Presume the children in the sculptures are also sculptures.
Amazing combination of capturing the angelic look of a child and then combining
it with the grotesque.
This is a very beautiful woman who must have been a beautiful child at one time.
And she is spending her time producing grotesque pictures. Why?
These are imagines which most of us I imagine reject - yet she dwells with them each day.
That she has added children who are "sleeping with" and "touching" these grotesque figures suggests
to me that these may be based on her memories.
What I think when I see that the Podesta's owned and displayed these kinds of paintings on
the walls at home is that they are at home with these grotesque figures and the relationship of
children to them.
It also makes me recall the involvement of the CIA in the creation of "Moderen Art" and the fact
that many of our museums feature modern art collections.
