That's an interesting take on it; perhaps she's right.
The thing that gets me, though, is that you can just lose yourself in a de La Tour painting; you can ponder the meaning behind so many works. I can't ponder anything at all with two pieces of coloured cardboard. Perhaps one day, will be able to read something different in it. It frustrates me that I am so used to reading texts and art, but I find myself confounded by modern art.
And yes, pictures of meadows often win, hands-down. ;)
