Aliza Shvarts

I don’t know if I agree with Hillary on her overall opinion of this artist and her work (is it awful if I say that my initial horror faded fast, and I no longer care very much?), but I do agree with her on this:
It’s undeniably delightful on one level that Shvarts hit on the one way to unite the pro-choice and right-to-life movements. How? By offending them both equally, the former because she is said to be mocking feminism, and the latter because, well, she’s performing abortions. That act of synthesis is a work of art right there.

The whole episode just reaffirms my worst prejudices about modern art, really - that’s often a load of self-indulgent and deliberately ’shocking’ tripe!
