There is another issue, of even larger public import, raised by the insult itself: What should a woman do when a fellow calls her a bitch? We already know Hillary Clinton's response. She invited the perpetrator and his mom to her house for a visit and consulted with women from the press on how to yet again "soften her image."

The catalog also states that there is no entry into this forest scene, but under close observation a path can be detected between two trees. The two trees seem to beckon to the viewer, conveying the idea that within the most destitute mind lies...
