1) "Limits in imagination" ?! ... This is a pure oxymoron.
2) Dahmer - Witkin analogy ?! ... A very shallow one.

Yes, I know Witkin is immensely popular-- as well as financially successful.
But if he's a genius I think "evil" must be the operative adjective. Yes,
perhaps it's only his imagination that's "psychopathic," and that in every
other regard he's a solid citizen. But I doubt it. Yes, it's only
"shadows," as someone put it. But there are limits, don't you think? Perhaps
Jeffery Dhamer was a Witkin fan. I remember that when the cops opened his
fridge and saw those silver painted severed heads, Dhamer told them they
were artworks. And the cops believed him. ...... Arthur
