Years ago I saw a comedian joke about how artists were not personally recognizable, for the most part. He said, “If I asked you what Henry Moore looked like, you wouldn’t have a clue. But If I brought a man on stage, and the man had an enormous hole through his midsection, you’d turn to your chum and say, ‘Look! That must be Henry Moore!’”
