Art is an expression  of culture, which is one reason why we don't see 
many pictures of the Virgin Mary with  her naughty bits showing during 
certain time periods.

Looks like some sort of religious incantation, judging by the repeated

Really? If you look at pictures in isolation, and you'd judge humanity 
by the relative proportions of the kind of pictures going around the

All I think is that there will always be an eternal mystery to the human species, or at least .. I hope so.  If that makes me mad, well .. okey dokey.
