THE CRISIS:
Inspired by the political/financial problems I painted The Crisis. The Crisis is about a.o. greed, Wall Street, War, politicians, bankers and the media and two impressive paintings about the Great Depression:
- American Gothic (1930) from Grant Wood (USA) and
- Pillars of Society (1926) from George Grosz (Germany)
In The Crisis I painted (from right to left):
- the politicians reading right (republican) newspapers supporting
- the bankers, companies, corporations who are in charge and they give orders to
- the soldiers who threatens
- the people (farmers, disabled, children, etc) who want their money back
