One Year Later: The art of the collapse
Filed under: One Year Later
Was it really just a year ago? Was it really just September of 2008 when several of our august financial institutions, already teetering, abruptly toppled, proving they weren't too big to fail? The whole world was wincing, but one group refused to panic: visual artists.
In the past 12 months, illustrators, photographers, graphic designers, even graffiti artists have addressed the unfolding economic calamity with anger, humor, bemusement, emotion -- and above all, striking imagery.

Well, most of it may be art, but Bernie was a photographic fart.

typical liberals... got it wrong again. OK, we realize you're too stupid to get the hang of capitalism, but don't you make money off your 'work'? and the pic of 'W' as a socialist considering who we have in office now is laughable. impeach the poser
