She's flying nude over a painting of a human figure, splattering paint on it. I know her art is "vaginal" but...
I mean, is the splattering of semen on the female form (the art) already noted in this whole durn symbolism whathaveyou?
If The Maude had semen to waste with which to "glaze" her painting of her cooter, then she wouldn't bother with The Dude to help her conceive.
Not only is Maude's art very vaginal, if you look closely at that painting, it looks very much like the Dude's rug. So the rug, among other things, represents Maude's vagina. That is why it holds "sentimental value" for her, and also why the Dude is so happy to get it. Just dig his face when he is on the rug. Like a dog on roadkill.
Maude's vagina really tied the room together.
I wonder if Maude's carpet matched her drapes. Nudge nudge, ;) ;)

I'd chalk it up to female masturbation. Maude is playing with her own vagina. The splatter can be seen more broadly as sexual gratification. Note that her helpers resemble eunuchs.

That's fucking interesting, Andy. That would mark Maude as some kind of royalty, to have her own harem.
The splatter on Dude's forehead could also be the mark of Cain.

Mark of Cain = Se7en
How do you get 7 as the mark? I have it as Vav, 6. It shows up in Barton Fink, on the door to his room and the peeling wallpaper. When Barton tries to repair the paper, he is trying to erase the mark.

If I could wrap my noodle around Barton Fink I wouldn't be still trying to figure out the Big Lebowski!

Somehow I think she would. "70's shag, no less. It makes men uncomfortable. Shag.
i think it is an underlying theme of the whole movie.
Be it Art or Masterbation: don't stand too close, you may just get some on ya!

a good man...and thorouguh!
Maude is a lesbian feminartist, she's got shag up the wazzoo!
I disagree-- many sexually liberalized women choose to remove or severely reduce their rugs for reasons of cleanliness. The act of coitus can be a lusty, sweaty affair that the shag carpet can collect as a crusty funk.

She's not my special lady, she's my fucking lady friend. I'm just helping her conceive, man!
I still jerk off manually.
of course you do.
