Just found this site from a friend – if you’re ever in Boston, it has to be worth a visit!
There are several pictures that I particularly like – and one which made me laugh out loud. The title of this piece is “Think Again”, oil on canvas by Unknown and the notes as follows:
“This disturbing work ‘makes an offer you can’t refuse’. The chilling, matter-of-fact manner in which the subject presents the severed head to us is a poignant reminder of just how numb we have become. The understated violence implicit in the scene speaks volumes on our own desensitization, our society’s reflexive use of force, and the artist’s inability to deal with the hindquarters of the animal.”
