50 years from now, Art History (21c American Art Survey) students will be given bluebooks; the TA will click on the Final Exam folder and open this image, which will be projected in front of the class for an hour for the students to write about - its structure, form, iconography, symbolism, and the socio-political context from which it emerged.
I love Sabo, and I like a lot of John McNaughton's work, but this image is just....it's totally different from both. I really think this is my favourite artistic rendering of MAGA.
I really don't have the words to describe this image. It's metaphysical and Carrivagian, it's like the writings of Hawthorn and Melville - and even a little bit of Flannery O'Connor thrown in. And it's just totally, totally autistic.
For me this image is the visual equivalent of the sublime undercurrent to the last 9+ years that no one in the Trump-hating highbrow intelligentsia can articulate because in addition to suffering from terminal excessively high self-regard, they are all vaxxed, blind, and stupid.
It's our "Death of Marat."
