It's very hard to see something you dislike or are uncomfortable with. I applaud you giving her work a second chance and finding SOMETHING to appreciate. You made a lot of insightful comments. I don't remember the works looking playful and fun at first but think back, I can see you what mean. I also agree there was way TOO much shock value. I think some of her work you might appreciate is some of her watercolors that were in the back; they were less graphic and a little more positive. One of them I think you'd appreciate is a drawing of a an elderly man hold a little girl, presumably his granddaughter, on his shoulders. She is looking through binoculars into the distance where there is a bright light. I really liked this painting because it shows we can attribute our present with our ancestors experience, we stand on their shoulders. It reminds me of the saying "If I can see a little further, it it because I am standing on the shoulders of giants." I like your honesty about the piece.
