VICTORY FRUSTRATED
2002
oil on canvas 59 x 49
$4200 +GST
This is a repeat of a drawing I did 20 years ago. It is called Jean Donovan One of Ten Thousand and deals with people who are killed in a war zone while artists watch on television and are not capable of changing the world. Classical sculpture depicted victory as a winged female, like the Greek sculpture The Winged Victory of Samothrace
There is a frustrating barrier that prevents artists from changing the world, but we never stop trying. The wing is from a duck.
