Why Art World Protests Against Renoir, Israel, Paul McCarthy or Anything Else Are Bad Politics10/22/2015 My opinion on this article, is that Art is a way to express free speech. I understand censorship of Art, but protesting Art seems a bit brash. It seems as though people are searching for something to lack onto to make their own voices heard. I feel as though the Art in this case is unfairly being used. In this day and age, everything is based on media and getting attention on media. It's easier now than ever to get your opinion out there and I don't see the need for people to take someone else's work and attach your world views to it.

This article was interesting to read. I have always supported worthy protests, like the Iraq war and occupy wall street, but these art protests, like the one against Renoir, are just hogwash! First off, Renoir is awesome! Second, this is just an opinion, not a matter of right and wrong. It is my opinion that theses protests are full of garbage people but I'm not going to protest their protest. If I was walking by and saw this happening I would fill up water balloons full of pee and start throwing!

Cool article. Completely agree that art should not be protested so harshly and should be treated as a form of free speech.

Interesting article. When you stand back and look at the entire concept of what the people are actually protesting it seems quite silly. We can rage against the truth as much as we want, but the truth shall remain.

This seems so silly! So often, artwork is created for the purpose of bringing attention to cultural issues. I can understand if someone doesn't agree with a particularly controversial artwork, but Renoir?? Come on. Why don't they find artwork that supports their cause, instead of making mindless noise?

This is a pretty powerful article. I don't think we will ever be able to make everyone happy.Everyone needs to learn how to respect other peoples opinions without making it such a protest though.
