lew_carver 0 Posted February 7, 2016 The text makes this a conceptual piece as well as visual. Clearly the intent is art as propaganda and its message is clear, if a trifle adolescent (but here that may not be a liability). Personally I do not care for this image but it works well in terms of its apparent intent and I would rate it a fairly high rating.. As it is a conceptual work it seems reasonable to comment on that content. It is difficult for most to separate the person from their work. If one loves a person's work it is hard not to transfer that feeling to the person regardless of their transgressions. For example Wagner was nasty little anti-Semitic pamphleteer . But his evil is (mostly) forgotten and irrelevant to the appreciation of his music (not that I consider Bowie much more than a commercially driven craft's person). In any case as a species we are a mixed lot. Link to comment
