There are no events for this day.

This is a very important image as it illustrates the New-Criticism Fallacy that meaning is found solely in the work. It also provokes a discussion between many Intentionalists who maintain that if the intention is not successfully outworked in the image, then intention is not relevant to the meaning. Here the artist's intention is deliberately oblique, not just in the work's symbolism but also in the title. However, the artist revealed in interviews that the two mugs, the knives and the grapes symbolize in different ways the number eleven. The artist explains that the work shows the Armistice date 11/11/11 signalling the end of the First World War.
