Adolf and the K-pop Army

thanks for all the feedback on this, positive and negative...

olive oyl, you rock! young is as young thinks...and does and lives...

saje, confused at first but after rereading your reply a couple of times, i have to agree totally... why do people always fall for the new mask?

comfort zones are good but they shouldn't be the limit of your all...
we need to be open to new ideas and if something rankles your zone, we should ask why and if necessary, implement change to free ourselves from ourselves...

a master wordsmith, Robert Anton Wilson, described himself as a 'guerrilla ontologist', in that he would attack language and knowledge the way terrorists attack their targets: to jump out from the shadows for an unprovoked attack, then slink back and hide behind a hearty belly laugh.

art should do this also, if it doesn't engage, it's the waste of a page.

i'll close here with a quote from Wilson:
We are all giants, raised by pigmies, who have learned to walk with a perpetual mental crouch.

I like how Rambo is looking around like "What the heck is going on"

Robert Hughes was just a kid in that piece!

Even with the thin and convenient justification, it's still too radical, and "radical means are indispensable only for the degenerate" (Twilight of the Idols, Nietzsche).

You forgot to include our Canadian Prime Minister!!!!

as humans (as artists), are we brave enough to speak beyond habit, common acceptance and the bullcrap of the mass movement herd? are we painting "plein air" to see only the safety within the search for beauty or are we starting a "blight air" record to artify the plight our our cities, our poor, now? are we accepting the collateral damage of one child that has been droned? terrorism is happening now, on both sides of the bullet!

Nice sentiments saje... but art... not your art... not Picasso's Guernica... not Goya nor Brughel... isn't going to change the world... It never has and never will.

Yeah, you're right. I was just trying to show off my command of esoteric ideas.

I don't understand your message.

That's why she has the wheel...

I don't understand how Anne Frank is the only "innocent" one in the picture. Lady Di is not on the other side of that coin. Or Mother Theresa. Or Michael Jackson. What's up with the flowers? And why are some of those "icons" black and white while Hitler gets to pour colours in the sky?
I'm not sure if just causing a reaction is enough, you'd expect some kind of message that offers a different view as a result.
