Carl,
Great thread. It took me a couple of times (5 I think) to read through this post and comprehend it. So I think I understand what you are getting at. You are asking for an example of bonsai that "move beyond an outdated sentimentalism based on positive affirmation of supposedly real values" I can't find a picture of it, but wouldn't Nick Lenz' "Root over bowling ball" fall into this category? Or do I have it completely wrong? If so please explain it to me a little more.

Thanks
Adam
