Well, there is a certain exuberance in them - very objectivist,
but almost bordering on new age aura paintings. :-) I think I can
see the author's point. But isn't heroism about fulfilling or
exceeding one's potential? In that case these pictures don't have
much of that, they mostly depict moments of *being*, they do not
depict what people *do*.
