[Milton-L] Kirmss Sculpture

[Horace Jeffery Hodges]

Jim, I  also thought that you were objecting to the allusion's obscurity:

I'm not sure that visual symbols work that way. It seems to me that icons only work as a visual language capable of teaching if the viewers share enough context to immediately understand the symbols.

This sounds like an objection to an artist for using an allusion that will be missed because of its obscurity.

But perhaps Feisal and I misunderstood you.

Thanks for your reply, Mr. Mohamed -- I wasn't aware anyone objected
to the use of an obscure allusion.  If you could quote the objection,
perhaps it could be explained?
