Sometimes Art says what Words Cannot

press images from the Schirn Gallery, THE CONDITIONS OF PEASANT FARMERS, CHINA....SEE THE BLOG LISTED BELOW, FOR MORE DETAILS.


Twice today, I tried to write here in regards to the class differences that I notice when browsing through so many of the art blogs. Blogs that I love to look at, they are inspiring, beautiful, uplifting,

but at the same time--they are surreal to me.

I could not put it into words, and I was browsing and I stumbled upon this...it says, what I feel in my heart--about a lot of things. So,

here goes, I am posting the link at the bottom, the blog these photos were posted on with her summary, these photos were photos of a museum exhibit--art exhibit, sorry, that is the portrayal of the reasons for the Cultural Revolution in China..I have studied the conditions in China before Mao--and they Were horrid, as they were in Russia.

I believe, that these artworks, show the Truth, about the reality, the lives, of millions, and they really, don't need words.

The exhibit is called the Rent Collection Court....

To the side bar, I have a section for Kathie Kollwitz,

here is one of her works...called Hunger.



If you are not acquainted with Kollwitz, may I suggest you take a look here...I first learned of her back in my early days working in activism, when doing research on women artists. Her art works need no explanation,

enough said. Kollwitz-Hungry Kids
