Occupy Art


In this picture what first catches the eye is the American flag layed over the V mask. I think this catches the eye mostly because it takes up pretty much the whole picture, and the fact that the color seems to really stand out. The color is vivid which just gives it that awesome look. The Costitution behinde the mask and American flag is I think critical to the power of this picture, a very small detail that some wouldn't even notice if they were just glancing at it. Obviously this has some pathos. if you have ever seen V for Vendetta you know "... ideas do not bleed, they do not feel pain, they do not love..." and it is the idea of occupy, the 99%. i don't know how much logos or ethos a piece of art really needs and i guess this one doesn't really have any.
