Gesamtkunstwerk

Miss Linton

"A Gesamtkunstwerk (German: [gəˈzamtˌkʊnstvɛʁk], translated as "total work of art",^[1] "ideal work of art", "universal artwork",^[3] "synthesis of the arts", "comprehensive artwork", "all-embracing art form" or "total artwork") is a work of art that makes use of all or many art forms or strives to do so. The term is a German word which has come to be accepted in English as a term in aesthetics.

The term was first used by the German writer and philosopher K. F. E. Trahndorff in an essay in 1827.^[4] The German opera composer Richard Wagner used the term in two 1849 essays, and the word has become particularly associated with his aesthetic ideals. It is unclear whether Wagner knew of

Mr. Mnuchin, spouse
of Ms. Linton

Trahndorff's essay.

In the twentieth century, some writers applied the term to some forms of architecture, while others have applied it to film and mass media"

This of course brings us to the afore-pictured Ms. Linton, spouse of the most insufferably snobby Secretary of the Treasury Mnuchin. They must be a fine pair. Oh to be a servant.

I use the term Gesamtkunstwerk as these to are embodiment of "a total work of art".  On stage, it would incorporate all applicable facets of art, from scenery to music stands in the pit...everything.  These two encapsulate everything but art.

They are the very definition of snobbery, condescention, and out right insensitivity.  Mr. Mnuchin is a liar and the jury is still out on Ms. Linton, but she more than makes up for it with her own perverse sense of self worth.

I wonder what the dinner conversations are like at the Mnuchin house; chock full of I's and Mine's with a slab of "me me me" thrown in for measure.  Frankly I wonder about mutual attractions like this; what draws so obviously self absorbed people together.  Some say that it is God protecting the rest of us from hooking up with one of them but that would be catty. Claws in please.

They deserve each other.  They really do.  But instead of a "total work of art", lets just think of them as total pieces of work. Totally.
