Uncle Tom's Cabin, The Jungle, Guernica--F911

[skjpm]

I think F911 is the sort of art which,like the works listed above, will be a catalyst for a reawakening. I think it has that power. It's a work that transcends the context in which it was created, and at the same time, forces us to see and respond to this moment.

1. Didn't they cover up Guernica?

Didn't want to send the wrong message...

2. Forgot about that--but true (n/t)

3. Picasso brought the truth out

I think that's the Guernica in question.

The little town? I think they killed 1700 people out of the 5000 who lived there, and destroyed 75% of the buildings.

4. I never understood why the UN covered up the Picasso because

Colin was coming to promote war.
