letter

Dear Jane Hughes,

I read your article about the Brooklyn museum, which was very interesting.
In my opinion the row due to a British art exhibition is ridiculous and I am glad that the city’s mayor R. Giuliani gave in. I disagree with him, because art is something different for everyone. It is anyway difficult to describe.
There are people, who like “shock art” and they also have the right to see it in an art exhibition.
I personal think that the picture Virgin Mary of Chris Ofili isn’t “shock art”.
When an artist use blood or visceral organs that is disgusting and “shock art”! But on the other hand it’s also art and some people like it. I think such picture should alos be in an art exhibition although it’s barbarous.

Yours Angela
