All art can be boiled down to “I don’t like it” but that’s not what I’m doing here. Making two statements here.

1. Neither the Washington Monument nor the Embrace can be understood to be honoring anybody without you being explicitly told that at one point.

2. The WM is recognizable as a beautifully formed art object. The Embrace, not so much by me.

Either statement can be taken alone and do not depend on the other. No special pleading involved.
