Every Red-Blooded Patriot Print - Limited Edition of 10

I was admiring the beautiful colonial buildings in Recife, Brazil. Most of them were studies in pastels, but this one was in the midst of being painted or vandalized. The new paint was deep blue. I changed the handprint to red to symbolize the red, white, and blue of the American flag. The other colors blended together in subtle variations. This image shouts with raw emotion. The purpose of art, as I see it, is to evoke an emotional response from the viewer. The emotion can be positive or negative. As I write this (July 2023), there is much violence around the world, especially in my country of America with more than one mass shooting every day. Though different in subject but similar in composition, this image reminds me of Robert Capa’s “Death of a Loyalist Soldier“ (Falling Soldier) at the moment of being shot in the Spanish Civil War. Ironically, there has been much discussion about whether or not the Falling Solder was faked. Nevertheless, this singular image made Capa famous. Born Endre Ernő Friedmann to a Jewish family in Austria-Hungary, Capa changed his name to avoid persecution. He went on to become the greatest war photographer in history. Often putting his life at risk, he was the only professional photographer at the Allied landings on D-Day in World War II. Capa himself died when he stepped on a land mine in Indochina. May this image stimulate you to think about your personal values, as well as the values of modern society.
