The fountain looms against the background of the unconscious. A lone streetlamp reflects darkness in streaks, illumines the expanse of snow, and stands apart from the tenebrous interior.
Georges-Pierre Seurat's Place de la Concorde, Winter ca. 1882-83, currently on exhibit at the MAM.

Actually, I think that this painting is on display at The Guggenheim, along with this http://www.guggenheim.org/new-york/exhibitions/on-view/maurizio-cattelan-all. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.
GR,
I was fortunate enough to see the Seurat's piece over the weekend, on loan from the Guggenheim.
I think I prefer it to Cattelan's works:-) A whiff of Andre Serrano, don't you think?
Yeah, I gotta admit that I really don't understand what passes for much of modern art.
