It seems that our government now sends it's Gestapo to cover Art Shows, that partake in political controversies of our times. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! They specially wanted the name and address of the artist that drew the above picture. Here is the link to the whole storie. Godless.
Republicans don't understand how creative minds work. They had to recycle the cold war because they can't think of anything else. They don't understand that drawing someone holding a gun to the presidents head is not only not indication of a plan to do it, but almost assures that the person who drew it won't do it.
Also, the article describes the stamps as having a picture of bush with a revolver pointed at his head, but I do believe if I squint that I see a Beretta 92 in your little Jpeg.
Oh its definately a 9 mili. ! Word is that the 'artist' (or political activist) made a similar statement a couple of years ago in one of his other works. Personaly, I think its fair game. Private citizens should be able to do and say what they like as long as they are not stating that they will or exokicitly recommending to others to kill or harm someone. This stamp is clearly a symbol of the utter hatred many have for the president of the U.S. Maybe it refers to the political suicide Bush is committing by re-instating the patriot act (which is unamerican). Or it could also imply that Bush is operating 'with a gun to his head' meanning he is only a brainless puppet (which few could prove otherwise). In any case, art speaks of social tendancies through the implicit recognition of ourselfves. I believe that picture is precisely just and only that and no more. Prisme
To interfere with art is truly ignorant but we're talking about brainless people so that's no surprise. To put limits on art of any form is to take away all that it stands for.
being an artist, i would like to go further than that artist and do a Mussolini on Bush. only trouble is, cant think where i'd 'hang it'
Vlayer a 37¢ stamp is what is used today; but your right the artist should have used a nickle stamp, however the joke is to make it as real as posible.
duendy; I've not seen one depicted with Mussolini, however I've got this one; Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! How about Bush and Hitler?. LOL.. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! G.
haha...you've read me too innocently Godless. what i meant was to actually DO a Mussolini on him--you do know what happened to Mussolini....?
I’m pissed about this "Art Controversy". To call what the "artist" created art, is offensive to real art. Jackasses like this one, who made the Bush stamps, have helped dive art to an even lower standard. His objective was not to make a political statement, but to get a little money out of it. His idea wasn’t even original, nor do I consider it art. He’s just someone trying to provoke a reaction and got it. Devaluing art by painting a picture of Bush with a Hitler mustache is the most unartistic thing somebody can do. Bush Stamp guy should be shot.
Fine. I'll go shit on a canvas and we can call it art. I'm an artist, and anyone who calls me otherwise is anti-art. Any body who refuses to buy it doesn't know how much hard work I put into it (As I'd have to eat five cans of corn to make this one piece that I'm thinking about). Or wait, has somebody already done the shit on canvas thing?
Probably. I think it involved an industrial fan, not direct shitting. G.G Allin would crap onstage and throw it at his audience. Maybe you should scrawl anti-bush slogans with your faeces.
Art. Riight. It's as much art as Micheal Moore's film Farenheit 911 is a documentary. It's an expression of emotion, but I would hardly describe it as art. Looks more like a picket sign carried at an anti-Bush rally than something someone would hang on their wall.
