I can't explain it though, Dali has always appealed to me in a weird manner.

The work i posted was simply represented all the ugly sides of the united states. prehaps i should have said the amereican GOVERNMENT instead of the 'USA' ; ) but even then... i doubt most other countries would agree with your statement that our countries history has been peace loving nations ever. Maybe that's just my opinion ;P When I said racism, money, music, war, beauty, etc. weren't American things I didn't mean to deny that those don't describe the United States because they do. I was simply saying that I wouldn't call them American qualities but rather human qualities or qualities of human societies because pretty much all large human societies deal with racism, go to war, and have a large emphasis on money, beauty, and music. The US definitely has the cleanest record of any great world power but we are the youngest. From the end of the American Revolution until the beginning of WWI we definitely were extremely peace loving and had a very small military. In WWI and II we were attacked first both times, by Germany and Japan respectively, before we entered them. The large military build up in the United States caused by WWI and WWII and the Cold War battle between communism and capitalism both contributed greatly to our militaristic approach since the end of WWII. Although we did help pioneer the League of Nations and the United Nations at the same time. I don't mean to stray this thread off topic though the "art" you chose as your OP was definitely asking for it. But I just wanted to reply to you, let's not change the point of this thread. ~edit~ You didn't offend me I just felt compelled to make a comment about it. But yes I don't want to have the thread go off topic either. | ||

I love that one.

Much of art is about interpretation. The beauty of that is we can come to very diffrent conclusions about what the art work was saying. However some people seem offended by it. If you are offended i apologize. This was not my intention. I don't know if we are really here to argue about the meaning of one piece. But i also do not want to debate of the meaning of just one piece of art. I see your angels and you've made some excellent points. I just hope you could see mine. Your point being? I won't repeat myself, have you actually read my reply? I'm not offended in any way and I don't want to offend you – but I can't stand that you actually think this propaganda is art. Because it isn't. And it is dangerous to claim so because it allows simple-minded people to grow or extend prejudices. | ||
