The document discusses a case involving the removal of a painting from a Capitol building by Congressman Hunter. The painting by David Pulphus Jr. depicted a scene from his neighborhood that was deemed too sad or objectionable by some. Robin Hirsch-Steinhoff, director of Art St. Louis, states that the painting was selected based on its artistic merit alone by the judges. However, artwork in the Capitol must adhere to policies against contemporary political controversy or sensationalistic subjects. There is a debate over whether representative artworks should meet certain conceptual standards beyond just artistic skill.
