Cool Artists of the Day: Sue Coe & Goya



















I actually own this print (left)!!!! It's called "The West Meets the Rest." It is a clear homage to Goya's equally fantastic "Saturn Devouring his Son" (right). Saturn was so freaked at the prospect that his progeny would become more powerful than him that he ate each one immediately after their birth. Goya portrays Saturn as mad and full of senseless rage, driven to orgiastic violence by fear of the exposure of his own mediocrity.

George W. Bush really needs to familairize himself with Roman myth. And read some fucking Chomsky already.

And, I drive a Saturn. It has yet to devour me in an envious rage.
