Art or advertisting?

This adorns the wall of a local pizzeria. I think the screws driven through the middle of these platters tend to move this away from an artistic statement. Am I too critical?

This makes for a great shot!

Hmm..they could have found a less intrusive way of fastening the platters. But, hey, living in an art town I’m always reminded that art is in the eye of the beholder. I would need to pose the question (with tongue in cheek), ‘What was your motivation?’

No, you’re not too critical. I first thought they were paint can lids with nails in them…go figure! Love the previous post…’what was your motivation?’ Apparently they were motivated to not have them stolen off the wall. Still love the shot and I now need a slice of pizza.

No, you’re not being too critical. It may be an artistic statement, but not much artistry in it. Cute, kinda. My first reaction was the plates looked like Mickey Mouse ears!

BTW, you’d love Carrabbas…great food and lots of it, excellent service with a nice ambiance.

I just don’t find this attractive at all; they need a new decorator.
