I was looking at the Motherland Calls the other day, and I was curious what everyone's favorite pieces of art or sculpture are.
Despite not being really left leaning, the Vietnam War Memorial in DC always hits me, since it truly is a scar on the ground, reflecting the horror of war (while also completely negating any victims who weren't American soldiers).
First thing that comes to mind is the Thomas Burke engraving of Fuseli's The Nightmare The painting loses something in bright light. When I saw it if was almost like I felt like I wasn't alone in how scared I was of my dreams.
