Where are these sketches? What makes them "pornographic" and the poses
"obscene" other than the motive imputed to the artist by the authors (Wallace 
et al
)? Would the same critique apply to another "artist" whose politics produced
less murderous works? If we looked at the drawings of Geli while ignorant of who
drew them, would we draw the same conclusions as to their artistic merit?
