Arty propaganda!

Thought you might like these: this painter may have undeniable talent, but the paintings he makes are overdramatic, cornball propaganda at its finest.

Also, he's trying way to hard to layer on the symbolism. Isn't it enough to just have Jesus handing America the Constitution? Do you really need to label and explain all the background people, too?

Awesome! I had seen the first one before, but not the Jesus one.

Also check the reworded one: "We couldn't have two black people next to each other, that would be a mob"

But seriously, this guy seems radically unhinged for someone who knows his way around a paintbrush.

the "forgotten man" is revisionist history at it's finest. all these corporate shills turning to "help" the guy, but "socialists" like Rossevelt turning away.

IN WHAT FUCKING WORLD??/

Actually I think you'll find Howard Zinn to be revisionist history at its finest. Shlaes is useless.

Statement to the effect that all artists are insane.

I'm sane. Although I don't "self-define" as an artist.

That's exactly why you will never understand art at its deepest level.

That sounds like every opera director I've ever worked with...

Scarlet A.pngpathetic01:30, 24 February 2012

You've... worked with a lot of opera directors?

2 in a professional context, 3-4 in a semi-pro context and I can't remember how many students off the top of my head. In fairness, one of them was more like "screw your 'deeper meaning' shit, I wanna do steampunk!"

You make being cultured sound very exasperating :-)

It is. But you get to join a lot of committees that give you free cake.
