Wow! Thanks for this!

Riddles, riddles riddles, i guess one can spent a lifetime guessing what this means, and in the end, whatever you think it might mean, it is still just your own projection on it.

In that way it can say more about oneself than about the painter Hugo Simberg.

I know what it says to me.  But I can't go into it without commenting on religion and politics.  Thanks Fielder for posting this.

The tires are worn.  The shocks are shot.  The steering is wobbly.  But the engine still runs fine.

1:33 He refused to say what the painting meant. He simply suggests to let the people draw their own conclusions.

Had he given it any moral, then I doubt it would have become the national painting. Because that would have made it worth less.

It is timeless.  The painting has many messages for many people depending on where they live, their political beliefs, their religious beliefs, their station in life and their age.

I have printed it out on photo paper and plan to frame it and hang it on my wall.
