Art or a crime? Intersting new downtown grafitti.

1.
I don't know that the painter was a woman, it is "gender neutral'" to call an unkown person she instead of he.

2.
The painting is a trespass.
Merriam Webster defines trespass as, "an unlawful act committed on the person, property, or rights of another".

Hmmm, lawfulness may not be the best barometer of art.

1) This piece of art is attractive, interesting and stimulated discussion and debate. Probably unlawful, but beautiful.

2) Penske's acre of concrete on Belle Isle is lawful. It's just ugly, cutting into the landscaping of another, better work of art. It just happens to have been done with permission and is therefore lawful, though ugly as sin.

Good analogy. When they first began pouring that concrete on Belle Isle I thought they were moving City Airport over there.
