    I dunno, I think that's part of the magic of the Black Paintings. To me, what makes them truly unsettling (in the best way) is the fact that he painted them exclusively for his own desire and that we're limited to guessing the subject matter (which, although ambiguous, was undoubtedly dark).

    kolpeshtheyardstick made a pretty great video essay about the work and its historical context and cultural impact. (01:04:19)

    I never heard about how it was made before and that really changed how I view the work.

      This is a really good reference to classical Roman mythology. Something that the US government usually appreciates.

      It's a reference to Goya a Spanish painter.we don't really know if this painting was about chronos, that's a theory.

          Good one. Not that I can do any better, but would it make more sense to put the statue of liberty there to better reflect the original inspiration?

            I would have Trump raping the Statue of Liberty for both the truth and shock value.

                True, I just always want to know the facts about everything, no matter how insignificant, for historical posterity and my own curiosity.

                  Might print this out for my next protest sign. Who made this? Doesn't look like AI to me.

                    Maybe you’re thinking Alan Moore in V for Vendetta?

                    Artists use lies to tell the truth, while politicians use them to cover the truth up.

                      Liberty and Justice being assaulted. Apropos. What really sucks is that these were made during his first term, which was nothing compared to the full-on fascist assault he's doing now.

                        Ai, it's a parody of a famous painting "Saturn devouring his son".

                                  Another, yes.

                                  I've turned into a bit of a whiskey maniac since my visit to Ireland last March and enjoyed it more than I thought.

                                        That would apply to parody too though. So what is it, scrambled art en croute?

                                          My understanding is pastiche is a homage, a parody can be as little as "this look sorta like that". Imo pastiche would require intent and I'm not so sure an ai has intent.
