You will not be surprised that she has fashy opinions about art. She is absolutely incensed that Carle's books are enduringly popular, which she says is only because they're foisted upon us by "an insalubrious culture." She says Carle's work is objectively ugly and bad, and that children exposed to bad art will grow to be bad people who lack morality, thinking skills, and the ability to perceive true beauty in the world. Yea, there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth, and invective like "deformity," "chaos," "vulgarity," "indoctrination," and "disease." She further deplores Klimt, Pollock, all of modern art, the Bauhaus art movement, gay marriage, and Crayola (for making children's art products with unnaturally vivid colors).
She blames it all on "Marxists," of course.
She used the R word and a racial slur, of course.
Since I am the patron saint of so-called bad art on Tumblr, and I'm delighted to help annoy fascists, I'm here to throw a little party to celebrate Carle's brightly-colored, asymmetrical, disproportionate, "nefarious" butterfly.
Grab the nearest box of outrageous Crayolas and make an extravagantly, riotously shaped and colored butterfly.
