These are all great pieces but I thought this claim was a bit guilty of the same stretching you tease museum gallery texts for: "In another full-body self-portrait of the pregnant artist, she lies in an almost fetal position holding a shepherd’s staff, blurring the distinction between mother and child—leader and follower—god and mortal." I find the hypothetical questions you pose toward a piece or the clever remarks you make about a piece much more engaging than the sparknotes style of summary-writing you sometimes do. [my 3 cents about this jawn].
