This is my response to the disfigurations of the mainstream leading artist Glenn Brown. The said spiritual animals series carry disfigurations as their very meaning of existence. Today I present the first animal of my spiritual animal series “ Sir Joshua Heartfelt”. Art movements have done that by responding to each others’ styles and philosophies, but perhaps we need some more specific pieces which respond to key pieces which are registered in our mainstream art and thus shaping our opinions and world views too.Ī month ago I presented my response “ Florinal” to the century long “ Fountain” of Marcel Duchamp as a view on the ugliness of war. Well I don’t see why painters shouldn’t do that in order to provide the public with different angles of view on a subject. Scholars respond to each others’ works by producing a work themselves. Edward Said responded to Samuel Huntington’s essay “ Clash of Civilizations” by his essay “ Clash of Ignorance”(2001). Samuel Huntington responded to Francis Fukuyama’s essay “ End of History” (1989) by his essay “ Clash of civilizations” (1993).
