What was the purpose? To draw attention to her and her work. IMO, if that’s the best she can do, she certainly needs the publicity.
"It just shows how closed-minded people are, and let's say if I was a famous artist I don't think anyone would say anything."
Oh they would still say something even if she was a famous artist and the work was any improvement on hers. Think of the statue of David where people criticised the anatomical incorrectness of the hand sizes.
It’s not being close minded. That’s a typical attempt at self-justification.
For me it’s also the fact that she reduces the importance of a female to her genitalia- and a very poor representation of them.
Ms Harris said a sign next to the painting urged passers-by to come in and share their views in a visitor book.
Give her due, that’s a better marketing strategy than come and look at my paintings.
