What is beautiful is no longer considered art these days. If there is a tinge of nostalgia or idealism the image is criticized... the artist considered naive. At the risk of being criticized I present this image, considered too pretty by some.. Yet the colors, shapes and expressions attract me. What is considered art these days? Does an image need to be disturbing to be considered "good."

Viewing the Liberty Bell Through Tinted Glass

Liberty Bell Through Tinted Lens
Philadelphia, PA

May 2008



As I read commentaries on immigration articles I see a group of people that view our democracy through a lense that creates idealistic images -pleasurable hallucinations that believe in justice for all... The tint on the glass allows them to select which memories they can retrieve, forgetting their own marginality in a country where the rich benefit from what the middle class loses.
