Your opinion is solicited on the following piece of artwork

[Sunstone]

It's subtle, I know, but the intended impression is that they are all looking at a cat. Nancy is even trying to communicate with it.

Then I must stand corrected! It's an extraordinary work in its genre: Powerful, moving, nuanced, and furry.

I voted Excellent.

If this was done by like, a Lithuanian dude from the 1950's, and his post-structural/magical realism-type style was totally making fun of American propaganda on the side of escaping Soviet persecution, and succeeded at ******* off my grandfather's generation, then this would be artistic gold.

So that's how I choose to see it. A mockery.

What's with the dude counting money on the bottom right hand of the picture? Is that the master of ceremonies or team manager from an ecclesiastical public relations firm for managing such an event?

And yet, no cats.

You're on a roll today! I wish I had at least three more frubals for your posts in this and other threads. Drats, that I'm out!

I like the lady interviewing the pregnant lady's hair.

Obviously that is the Jew. I just want to know why 4 out of the 6 black people in the pic are in the back.

I got a total of 5 black people

In front

1) college student
​

In back

2) American soldier
3) Union soldier
4) Fredrick Douglas
5) Harriet Tubman

​

which is 80% in back.

Of the white people, I got a total of 53

In front

total of 15
​

In back

total of 38
​

which is 72% in back

IMO 80% v. 72% is not a substantial difference

(There is one half-breed, (American Indian and white) Sequoyah))

I'm sure Sarah Palin would love this if she was able to understand it.

Believe me! As an Alaskan, I can tell you, she can't! :no:

Captain Gold-Tree Man. Can't you see his iconic emblem?

I think there is a black dude between Davey Crocketts and Ben Franklins head.

As far as a painting, regardless of content, its not bad, but there's nothing really impressive about it.

As far as the content, its like over 9000. Most words just dont really match the kind of that I feel when I look at it. It's like a religious ideological derp. If it weren't painted well, it might as well be by a little kid who learned in Sunday school that our country is founded on God's law (and Jesus = God) and that everyone should acknowledge and follow that law.

Also, im with Sunstone, if it were a fat orange cat in the middle instead, it would be an instant classic.

If somebody does something like this to it, I will love them long time:

While I get the one in the middle is Jesus, what is the gold tree even supposed to mean?

Tree of life?
Gold, I'm guessing = kingly, royal, something like that?

Ah, that would make sense. I kept thinking of that white tree in Minas Tirith from Lord of the Rings...

Hey now, Lord of the Rings is totally part of accepted pop culture, I'm allowed to be nerdy in that field.
