insert pic of the giant from Twin Peaks "it is happening again"

you know i didn't deserve it the first time, nobody does. but a particular point about that—that there was a first time, one you knew about—only drives home, really hammers down the nail, that i deserve it even less.

Gustave Caillebotte - The Floor Scrapers (1875-6)

Original on top, later version below

“Despite the effort Caillebotte put into the painting, it was rejected by France’s most prestigious art exhibition, The Salon, in 1875. The depiction of working-class people in their trade, not fully clothed, shocked the jurors and was deemed a ‘vulgar subject matter.’ 

The images of the floor scrapers came to be associated with Degas’s paintings of washerwomen, also presented at the same exhibition and similarly scorned as ‘vulgar’”.
