ABOUT THE ARTWORK
"Saving the Donor Class" is my sarcastic assertion regarding where I stand on the issue of US pandemic response (ie, to Covid-19 in 2020). Artists who wish to be highly regarded by history have a responsibility to show in their work exactly where they stand on important issues of their time. I enjoy creating these paintings. They let me show off my ability to handle a myriad of different styles, express emotion, and demonstrate a bit of analytical thought. Doing caricatures in fine art paintings is a challenge, especially in making caricatures appear artsy instead of cartoonish. This is the kind of painting you might find on the wall of a Hollywood tycoon, who is a confidant person intent on showing visitors just how bold he or she is and the statement that art makes about his or her values.

Links to my websites and blogs .kaiser.545 I paint political/editorial paintings. I contend that almost all contemporary art is political, in that they purport to make some point. Thus I assume wide latitude with content and style in my paintings. I reject the usual political paintings with which the collector is familiar. You know, the ones that are obsessed with screaming AIN'T IT AWFUL in some crude visual whine, as if there is a contest to see which artist can be the most hysterical. Comparatively, I have observed that newspaper political cartoonists are far more advanced in use of metaphor, humor, irony and subtleties of tone. More importantly, political cartoonists have the courage and skill to be explicit and precise of point. I am interested in adopting some of the political cartoonist's idioms into fine art. Especially the practice of naming names, confronting specific issues and making the despot the butt of a raucous joke. My paintings are examples of invoking those concerns into contemporary modern painting. It is rewarding and hilariously fun. I hope other artists follow my lead. When I am inclined to give it a name, I call it the Guernica School.
