I like the Carnival piece, and then when I read what your accountant said about it, I have to agree.
Very cheerful use of color.

Rape - First impressions: I find the artist is making the statement that it isn't about sex or desire, nor is it personal. Or, every woman, no matter how accomplished or attractive, is reduced to her parts. Pretty much means the same thing, though.

Yes, I forgot to say that the Surrealists were the most misogynist group of artists yet. There were a few women Surrealists, in the U.S., but they are not well known.

Many Surrealists did reduce women to their body parts, often using mannikins. I think Hans Bellmer is the worst in this respect. I find him incredibly offensive.
