A LOT OF CONTROVERSY ABOUT AN UGLY PAINTING
So some people are all up in arms about the above painting by the artist Tom Sanford, The Assassination of Dimebag Darrell, which will be going on sale at an auction later this month (read all about it here and here). I don’t want to spend a lot of time on this, but I do want to make two quick points:
- Metal fans really don’t get have the right to be offended by artistic portrayals of horribly violent acts, even if they’re based on a real incident. If you’ve ever enjoyed Slayer’s “Angel of Death,” you should understand my meaning.
- It’s just a painting, and, really, the most offensive thing about it is how ugly it is.
Weigh in with your thoughts below.
