It sort of grows on you like a Picasso,Stella or a Klimdt.I like it more than I did the first time I saw it and really want to see it when finished.I'm afraid most here would rather see realism than abstract or impressionistic art.I think the gun would have been very much at home in pre-WW1 Paris.
Do you think so? I don't and don't think you will ever see a pre-WW I gun engraved like that.
It's certainly not impressionistic, and not even abstract. It's more psychodelic post-modern, in my view. In style, late 1960s.
