Philoctetes is the very embodiment of everything i hate about modern art and the modern world in general. I admire your consistency on this matter.

I think I agree.

QuoteIn Office at Night (1940), another "couple" painting, Hopper creates a psychological puzzle. The painting shows a man focusing on his work papers, while nearby his attractive female secretary pulls a file. Several studies for the painting show how Hopper experimented with the positioning of the two figures, perhaps to heighten the eroticism and the tension. Hopper presents the viewer with the possibilities that the man is either truly uninterested in the woman's appeal or that he is working hard to ignore her. Another interesting aspect of the painting is how Hopper employs three light sources,[60] from a desk lamp, through a window and indirect light from above. Hopper went on to make several "office" pictures, but none with a sensual undercurrent.

This really shows how out of touch with reality art critics really are. Sensual undercurrent? Eroticism? Projecting much? I can only imagine what they would say about this one:

A female teacher draws a circle on the blackboard and asks the pupils: "What is this?"

Nobody answers, except the smartass of the class: "It's a penis, teacher!"

"Wrong!". Then she draws a square and asks: "And this?"

Nobody answers, except the smartass of the class: "It's a penis, teacher!"

"Wrong again!". Then she draws a triangle and asks: "What about this?"

Nobody answers, except the smartass of the class: "I don't know what this is, but it's obvious you are sexually obsessed!"
