Is this glass master really a Republican?
The article on Dale Chihuly in the Daily Herald's July 9 Home & Garden section accurately describes him as the most famous glass artist of our time. I never miss an opportunity to visit one of his beautiful, creative and impressive displays whenever I am near enough to reach one.
And yet I read that Washington Post critics, over the years, describe the work of the world's most heralded master of the very difficult medium of glass as "utterly vapid" and "pure bombast."
In trying to understand how the Post's views can contrast so sharply with those of the rest of the world I can reach only one conclusion: They must know him to be a Republican.
