When an artist paints a portrait of a deceased loved one, trying to capture is not altered traits, and his enthusiasm - it is psychological compensation just struck with grief, a kind of triggering a sense of psychological self-preservation, then it is possible to understand - at least, to understand the motivation. But debate beforehand - cynical and inhuman.
