7. Same.

The whole painting over it reminds me of how the Republicans want to paint over the guns crisis.

5. Fascinating. That Salvadore Dali was the one to recognize a deeper meaning

and to fully explore the painting is likewise amazing to me. Similarities of the artistic soul-- despite such stylistic differences. I always liked Milay's work and have seen his prints in the homes of quite a few acquaintances over the years. I'll never see "the Angelus" the same now.
