    With regard to your commentary on the quality (or rather, the
    lack thereof) of finishwork seen on various pieces pictured in
    Metalsmith -- might you not suppose the individuals who crafted
    these pieces intentionally left the work this way? And that you
    can see numerous examples of "roughly-finished" works in
    exhibitions, museum catalogs, art magazines, et al? And that
    these same individuals might respond that their concept of art
    does not include "bourgeois concepts of beauty?" One must
    realize that when one can go to a respected contemporary art
    museum and see an installation of animal dung covered with
    Sweet-and-Low packets and Hershey's Kisses -- one must be
    prepared for anything to be called art.
