horatio	when I was younger those painting used to be creepy and disturbing, now they just seem bizarre in a archaic/primitive/superstitious manner. They are still beautiful, only disturbing in the fact that people did/do believe such things.

I could talk a million colours of crap, but I just find it disturbing that "artists" have to paint these depictions for recognition

"artists"? eek

there's masses of artists that have very little somber/religious tones in their work and are still famous...i'm not sure what you're getting at here?
