I guess it's pretty complicated, actually?
I feel like the art of Clive Barker is more omnisexual (like Jack Harkness!) than exclusively homosexual. Does this reflect on the artist's sexuality at all? Doesn't all art reflect on the artist, some facet of them?
Dalí painted grasshoppers a lot because he was afraid of them. But then, he was trying to explore his own subconscious.
There's something Mark Twain said about how authors can't hide anything in their writing; all their prejudices will out, no matter how they try to conceal them.
Counterargument: I've seen a lot of stupid interpretations of famous works of literature. And lots of artists are against these things entirely. And Chuck Palahniuk said that Fight Club is really a love story.
Nevertheless, I think there are (at least) two ways to interpret King Kong: "Beauty is dangerous" and "Black men are scary and trying to steal our wimmenz."
(Also The Little Mermaid is NOT about how women should close their mouths and open their legs, it's about transsexuals! I defy you to contradict me. Transsexuals!)
Leave a pebble if you've read this, at least. Or, DISCUSS!
