What a wonderful idea! What a great way to connect the viewer with the creator of a piece of art! Great choices.

The artist dips deep into his or her soul to make something intensely personal: it is an act that well-done, bares one's soul. That said, having the viewer choose a title is just as revealing: it opens a window into the soul of the witness.

Radical stuff!

Imagine what might have happened in 1893 if Manet had left "Djuner Sur l'Herbe" untitled and asked for suggestions. Imagine what we would learn about ourselves if we did the same thing with ... Mapplethorpes!

Good job, Brad!
