Cheeto devouring his nation
-
Insanity created some of the most definitely gothic images ever. Goya is so slept on. I'm especially partial to his etchings
The political prints about Spain and Spanish politics are particularly interesting to me
-
It's a reference to Goya a Spanish painter.we don't really know if this painting was about chronos, that's a theory.

Huh, neat. I tend to believe it is anyways with that previous sketch and simply belonging under the umbrella of Romanticism but there's some solid points there against it.
Just the point that the buttocks are too round to fit a typical male depiction is pretty compelling.

Our nation not his.
Prove it. It's not mine.

Definitely didn't originate with Alan Moore. I've seen it attributed to Pablo Picasso but I think the first is probably Aristotle.
I was actually expecting it wasn’t him and was hoping that I would find the original when I searched it but he was the only one that showed up - for my query at least. Thanks for the extra info!

If we ever have another elected president, I hope that one of their first acts after undoing literally everything that the orange menace has done is to replace every picture of trump in any government building with this.

Trump wouldn't eat the flag, he'd use it to wipe his shit
On the other hand, he’s well known for eating things he wants to hide. He eats notes after meetings.
I would be surprised if he hasn’t had someone redesign the US flag for him, based on his ‘vision’. So eating the flag to hide it is totally on brand.

Cunningham’s Law:
The best way to get the right answer on the internet is not to ask a question; it's to post the wrong answer.

This is based on Goya's famous painting "Saturn Devouring His Son", if anyone was wondering.
Imo in this original painting Saturn is horrified either to be doing this at all, or to be seen doing it.
So I don't think the poetry transfers to trump here.
I know this is shit posts but we're also discussing high art so...

True, I just always want to know the facts about everything, no matter how insignificant, for historical posterity and my own curiosity.
Part of this art is that there really are no "facts". It was painted on the wall of his home some time before his death but wasn't found before he died. He never gave it a name or said anything about it.
-
One of my favorites. I wish we knew if that's really what he intended to depict - people just guessed.
Yeah he didn't even actually name this painting. We really don't know who the subjects are for sure.

4 feet tall and painted directly onto the wall of his dining room, too. My kinda guy.

It's hard to say for sure. I always interpreted his expression as maniacal rather than horrified.

There are facts, they just went with him to his grave.

Quite likely their initials are A.I.
Indeed they are.

Gonna need fundamental change to make the president less powerful and make it so that no one party ever holds a majority in Congress ever again. The first would follow the second, so we should be pushing for something like Sequential Proportional Approval Voting for every legislature we got.

He certainly wasn't horrified about doing it in the original myth, as far as I remember.

Considering he ate FIVE of his children, I don't think he was.

Start with reforming the ways your elections are held. To the rest of the world it seems like a 250 years old system to keep those with money in power.
I thought the american revolution was held to get lost of a king and his henchmen? -
