Candy from a baby artist sparks controversy
I am interested in other peoples' responses to the work of the US based photographer artist Jill Greenberg. She was inspired by a boy who during a series of photographic shoots couldn't stop crying.
The project she undertook was about snapping the tearful responses of the 27 young children after first giving them a lollipop and then suddenly taking it away. The purpose was to achieve a very honest reaction - which in this case was tears. The photographs were shown on the Internet on the photographer's website. It has been inundated up to 60,000 hits a day and the cause of controversial reaction among viewers.
Jill Greenberg has been called a child abuser by some and even a criminal by others. However, the artist is paid around $6,000 for each photograph and as a result is not upset by a controversy at all.

Would it be romantic if a cluster of people you know or don't know were placed under a tree, skinned, headless dead and naked for everyone’s reaction and entertainment? The poor little birds, could this shocking art work be a just little disrespectful of the dead animals maybe?? I believe if an animal is dead you eat it, you don't display it in the name of art, and it is wasteful of our resources. The world needs food before it needs art.
