Publicly Funded Art People

Should Mapplethorpe be a publicly funded exhibit
or should it be exclusive to whoever will pay the
entrance fee to gaze upon beautiful art? In the
big picture, the Mapplethorpe exhibit is truly a
one of a kind art demonstration and most museums
of art are publicly funded so excluding this
exhibit would not be politically correct because a

published in 1948, in which author Shirley Jackson
writes of a mysterious and barbaric tradition that
stems from seemingly ordinary town settings.
Coulthard describes the reason of continuing

undercurrent, and not the surface attack on
subservience to custom (The Explicator 226).
