benhuybrechts 0 Posted February 4, 2012 Hello Pierre,It seems I am the first to comment, which I find difficult because I always have the feeling I grasp only 10 % of the message you put in your images.Just a try here which will be completely wrong. The bull represents the stock markets leading the world into a crisis, while rich girls with sunglasses lie on the beach. Then there is the protest of the working class, with a knight on a (white) bronze horse coming to save the world. All this going on, while all we have to do, is to look the other way and enjoy the sunset.Once again a very well executed message.Ben Link to comment
Pierre Dumas 309 Posted February 4, 2012 Extraordinary interpreted Ben!I will try to remember all of it and later explain my artistic purpose to others, let us say for example on Facebook! And who knows, maybe my subconsciousness told me exactly that, I am very occupied with these problems of the world and I even made one picture with that theme in 2008!Here it is: Link to comment
sonneland 0 Posted February 4, 2012 pierre, have enjoyed reading both bens take on your image and also your reply. but what i like best here would be this has led me on to your image from 2008, which i think is just super and one of your better works. lovely effort! ( both then and now ). Link to comment
overdiep 0 Posted February 4, 2012 Pierre, You made a story with many symbolic elements. I see threat, violence, daily reality, freedom and safety. I learned this morning from an article in a newspaper that freedom and safety are hard to reconcile ( Zygmunt Bauman). Regards Marco Link to comment
aarkp 2 Posted February 4, 2012 various denizens of the street, dethroned from their pedestals... oh well, just another day in this polyphonic world... where the image prevails over substance Link to comment
alfbailey 4 Posted February 4, 2012 The master of fantasy delivers again!Where the humans of this earth fail, could it be that the embodiment of thier human form could succeed? The inanimate artifacts and objects of our admiration, the icons from which we aspire to become and uphold so dearly, but without the self destruct button found in thier human counterparts, clearly labled "greed" And the sky, like all in all the best revolutions, is suitably colourful and dramatic. Long live the revolution!Best RegardsAlf Link to comment

ldavidson 4 Posted February 6, 2012 I see the red sky, the ripples in the dark water, with the bull - Wall Street? the relaxing rich woman in sunglasses, the poor shoe shine man, the hand of the common man raised in protest, the man on his high horse looking and riding away from the circle of social ills. "Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need, but not every man's greed” ~ Mahatma GandhiBrilliant social comment!Best wishes,Linda Link to comment
donev1 748 Posted February 6, 2012 It is difficult to follow and understand your imagination, Pierre. May be I am not right, but I see here irony and good sense of humour. Best wishes. Link to comment
museebfoto 2 Posted February 6, 2012 A wonderful spectacle, everyone thinks in his own way how to live. Best regards Pierre Link to comment
GailAnthonyHarmer 6 Posted February 8, 2012 I think Linda had a great interpretation of this image Pierre!! These 'street guys' truly do evoke one's thoughts on 'world events'. I too have been very concerned with everything I hear on the news each day. I worry also about all those here on PN even, who are so much closer and find these events so much more 'pressing' and 'real'.Very good work Pierre, you make us all stop and think.Sincere regards, Gail Link to comment

joseph_eiche 1 Posted February 10, 2012 An intriguing image. I read only Ben's post so I may be repeating what someone else has said alreadyI see the bull, tail up and head lowered, as a threatening to the people on the right who seem oblivious to the danger. The lady distracted by technology is unaware of the danger...after all the bull seems to be staring at her first.I am sure it isn't him but the man on the horse immediately strikes me as George Washington for some reason staring off and either missing or ignoring the danger the bull represents.And as the sun sets in the background is the sun setting on our subjects as well.An allegory about the state of the U.S. is what I see.But that is just my opinion, I could be wrong.
