Maybe its not "complexity" that precludes complete understanding but rather the notion that the process of inquiry inevitably (and desirably?) expands the scope of things to be understood?
Anyhow, for those interested, here is a link to Sharon Burgmayer's several accounts for the story of her painting. Notice, among other things, that the image you were given to respond to wasn't quite the image that Sharon originally painted. Any thoughts about why?
