VICTORY FRUSTRATED

2002

$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.
