[QUOTE="Scott Christian, post: 9340381, member: 6901101"] I can say this. When you learn about art, such as taking an Art History class in college, the very first thing you do is try to understand the painting's context - that is both studying the artist and the time in which it was made. That is why, say if you had someone looking at a Frida Kahlo painting, and they made fun of and wanted to change the long necks or the plant roots everywhere, you might understand they know nothing about her or the context of its creation. We would, at the least, consider them naive, and we may even consider their critique or the changes they would want to make ignorant. Some might go so far to say they are moronic. If that same someone explained the long necks and roots, but then went on to say they wanted to reimagine it with shorter necks and no roots, I doubt anyone would blink an eye. This is especially true if it's about one artist discussing another artist. In the end, it's about communication. WizKids either didn't know, or pretended not to know, the context of this painting. Whether their sculptor (if it's not already done by AI?) knew the details, we'll never know. But we do know they didn't communicate anything. (And depending on what camp you are in, they should have or didn't need to.) [/QUOTE]
