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).
I love french realism because it was basically the first dirtbag art movement. Painting beautiful portraits of drunks and whores to be displayed in the National Gallery where libs were looking to take in beauty in a guilt-free way while in Pre-commune Paris.
I’ve only made this connection for the first time right now.
