No question that a discussion is going to change a person's apperceptions from "dislike" to "like" . . . with anyone's work. Mueck's work is a good point of reference for a discussion on content and intent. There's no question of his current acceptability, nor of his craftsmanship, nor even that his work has impact.

You can be sure, however, that even work that succeeds on those three levels (impact, craft and market acceptance) is not necessarily "great art". Let's all post with less invective, and more rational analysis.

It's probably a bad thing to keep on "explaining" one's self, but Steven, I realize my writing style can seem flippant, and I'm sorry I offended you. Really, I had no intention of denigrating "cow colleges" necessarily (I'm a Bovine U grad too!). What I wished to convey was just how ubiquitous the "modernist" party line has become.
