Robert Maplethorpe was an "artist" who took homosexual/BDSM themed snapshots and exhibited them at taxpayer expense to an adoring Democratic public. Among his most beloved by that Party - which is not the Party in Power - was called "Self-portrait with Whip." Google it if you have a strong stomach.
The Andres Serrano artwork "Piss Christ" a crucifix dipped in urine, was also supported by the National Endowment for the Arts, a federall funded arbiter of which artists are worthy to be supported even if the public won't pay for their work. It was a photograph also. Like Maplethorpe, Serrano is not an artist by virture of his skill at painting or sculpture or whatnot, but by virtue of his willingness to be disgusting and offensive and ownership of a camera.
Every time you clock in at the factory, pick up a passenger in your ride-share, work late getting a quarterly report finished, or whatever daily toil you support yourself and your family with, remember that the Democratic Party run bureaucracy is steady taking some of the earnings of your labor for things like that.
Enjoy!
