I made a misstatement in my last “Odd Ball” post for Cee’s prompt. I mistakenly said it was a photo I’d altered with my photo editing program (Photos, by Apple) when in fact it was a detail from a collage I did while at forgottenman’s house in Missouri a few years ago.
In response to the photo I posted, I got this query from anglogermantranslations:
I just made out ‘party politics’ in the newspaper clipping. Is it something political then? Do we see Trump’s hair ruffled by the wind in the left bottom corner? And feathers of a big bird? Is it a rebus? Are we looking for a particular word?
Which sent me on a quest for a photo of the entire piece. An hour or so later, I have discovered this photo in my archives, along with a few other detail shots of the collage:
And yes, anglogermantranslations, it is a political piece, although Mr. Trump had not yet come upon the scene in a political sense when I created it. He is a product of the theme, however, that dealt with the vanished innocence of our society and how the natural order of things has been taken over by big business and the profit motive. Was I right or was I right?
I really love your artwork. And I treasure the piece of yours I have here in my living room.
