Hi! A little late maybe... But Julie - Whoa! Some of your concepts are rather confused, confusing and muddled. What on Earth is a "pure expression of anything, a representation" meant to mean? Surely it's a contradiction in itself. Perhaps art is a contradiction in itself - it expresses without saying/meaning anything, yet it can mean all sorts without expressing it. Sorry for my outburst - but this sort of nonsense has to stop!
