| Dali Atomicus (1948) by Halsman |
The print has been hanging in my office for the last five month and it has generated a positive response. People often stop by and ask me about it and the recognize Dali. On Wednesday it's peaceful existence ended and I was asked to take it down. Apparently, there are two sets of naked boobs in this print. Stop now and find both of them!
Did you find them? Apparently, someone at work saw the naked boobs got upset and complained to HR. They were offended by the boobs. Then my boss had to give me a talk. He walked into my office and stared at the print for at least five minutes before he spoke. While he was standing there I just kept working and briefly wondered what he was doing but I knew he would eventually speak. When he found the boob problem he shut my door and told me I had to take it home while laughing heartily.
I was in trouble but not serious trouble and the boss found it funny but I still had to take it home. I was bummed that the one thing that said something about me in my office had to be removed.

People are weird! I wonder why that person just didn't say something to you directly? No one has the common decency anymore to talk to another directly if something is bothering them. Most of the time they just run to the "principal" and tattle. I saw the boobs right away but I don't mind boobs myself. I think it's male parts that are weird and obnoxious, and I've been married almost 19 years! I mean really, it just hangs there. But boobs, those things are usually geometrically and aesthetically appealing!
You can enjoy it at home again. You should find some art that looks like boobs but isn't and hang that in your office. I'm thinking there's got to be some big abstract painting of two circles out there. LOL!
