It might even be said that the subject of any work of art, regardless of what it portends to be ‘about,’ is the artist themself. For whatever the content an artist chooses to depict, that content is subjected, by way of the artist’s style, to such a transfiguration that, while it may not lose the reality of its semblance, it introduces to the audience an element of ‘whatness’ that can belong only to the deepest part of the artist’s identity.
