   Rape is a horrible, indefensible crime, but there are also many other horrible subjects of paintings . Should Steve avoid those which depict (or strongly imply) murder, torture, bestiąlity, pedophilią, etc.? Most depictions of Greek and Roman mythology and many Biblical and historical scenes would have to be banned. To me, it is some of the captions and comments which are offensive, and we can express our disapproval in writing and | or by withholding “Likes.”

   Thanks to Linguist and Call Me Ishmael for your gracious compliments. Truth is, today’s Masterpiece was posted late again and I fell asleep rather than wait for it. I awoke a few hours later (as men of my age are often compelled to do) and decided to check in. Apparently my best work is done at dawn while not yet fully awake. ;>)

   Maybe he isn’t anonymous after all. Perhaps we’ve been mistranslating the painting’s Dutch title and it is a “Portret” of a man named “Van Een Man.”

   /// In some places some progress was made,

   but true equal rights are still delayed.

   The grim scene shown above

   is one male viewers love.

   Watch next season on “Nak’d and Afraid.”

   /// These atrocities women went through—

   sex assaults used to make them subdue.

   We’d have hoped that at last

   they’d be left in the past.

   Have things changed in an eon or two?

   /// It was only a few days ago

   these men ran from a mammoth through snow.

   By a miracle saved,

   why are they now depraved?

   The men’s language lacks words that mean “NO!”

    /// Here Paul Jamin has painted A Rape

    in the Stone Age. She strives to escape

    while two Primitives fight

    over who has the right

    to molest her. (They’re still mostly ape.)
