Alientango: thanks for the comments. I live in a country where there is barely enough to eat. It's not that "a painting with some bananas isn’t causing some kid in Ethiopia to go hungry!" It's not a painting... it's a photograph, done with real food. It's the propriety of it all... People who have enough to eat can be quite cavalier about hunger. To be cavalier about food when there are others who are starving (not because they are too lazy to work, mind, but because there's just not enough because of the skewed distribution of food), i think that's alientango's main argument. Why attack the guy?
