The Dutch were secular society as well as accepting. Dogs pooping and women breastfeeding are a reminder of reality within church sanctuary's and other settings. Vermeer was particularly subtle in this regard, like for example Woman weighing gold is a commentary about materialism, but a closer look reveals a painting of the Last Judgment with Jesus right over top of her head. Vanitas paintings spoke about many issues in a secular world including Memento Mori symbols and everything within the still-life paintings has some kind of meaning: Ants represent decadence, Bees represent productivity, Lilacs repesent ephewmeral beauty, Red Roses are a reminder of the garden of Eden-fragrant and beatrifulk, but unapproachable because of the thorns etc.

The money for Mary Cassatt paintings went towards the Suffrage Movement. We have yet to achieve full suffrage, tRump and its tRumpanzees are all destroying what we worked for to achieve as a diverse society with equal rights for all. The Sunflower represents the Suffrage Movement.

More examples of Envelop (Flat , Shape) construction from demos. Could also be visualized as "webbing of forms or Closure of forms. Fragments like those from Michelangelo's statue of David are instructive and the intent of the measurements are quite clear, so professor-artist can easily correct forms, for students.
