I surely would not think a debate on this group list re Mr. Sturges
would be appropriate.
For one, I was one of his teachers @ the Art Institute and thought him
to be a superb craftsperson … however, within the dialogues and
colloquys surrounding his work were women who were greatly disturbed by
his work and attitude.
It was apparent then that his work would be extremely controversial in
the manner as is expressed today in Dick's site.
In my mind, the Christian right are virtually as one-minded as Jock is
and perhaps ought to be equivalently chastised for overtly dogmatic
"correctness."
The point remains in my mind however, that Jock's work has bothered a
multitude of women I know, and have known, who are paragons of openness
in thinking and expression … and that has always bothered me.
