There's not enough life or growth in them - not impressionistic - and isn't going to be. If they were medieval or ancient paintings, we would say they were bad of their kind (from trying too hard): caricatures but lacking in point. I've a lifetime of oldfashioned critique and hermeneutics, and pondered phenomenology when recovering from illness, and it takes me minutes to parse the orphanage appeal ads blocking the mall. (This was not posed by a model taking the trouble to obviously "put on an act", but a ghoulishly over-elaborate figment.) (The same mentality that began to endanger actual model agencies.) Another example is "architects' impressions" - so glad now I didn't become an architect. What about people who were told to take things for granted and that life should be button pressing? (Is religion leadership in the spiritual forefront of that trend, with their materialist dominionism? Are administrators and business people now figments only, even to themselves?)
