Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Yes many, many questions....

Where do we want to start?

The jpg you posted does nothing for me, hence not art, just visual noise.

Well, I believe the man is an angelic figure providing the "breeze"" for Venus's hair. He has a woman entwining his torso. We could ask Botticelli, but he's been dead for 500 years.

It's still art. You just don't like it. That's taste.

That Quintana Roo is a bike. But I don't like it. That's also taste.
