1984 by George Orwell #BookReview

    The saddest love story #OfAllTime. George Orwell's 1984 was published in 1949. It's amazing how much we think the future is going to change. This satirical novel, supposing what the world would be like in 35 years, is a great example of how much we fear the future --even today, I believe. The biggest fear some of us have is losing our freedom and falling under the totalitarian rule of another. Books like this are amazing because they can be applied to current politics, future politics and even our day-to-day lives.  is there any way for another person/body to govern you efficiently?

George Grosz - "The Workman's Holiday" (1919)

Grosz (1893- 1959) is a highly political, anti-Nazi German-born artist.

I love that his work is so... him. 

I felt like I knew exactly how he saw the world with this one drawing. 

I felt the truth in this one.

This drawing is on view until Sunday, January 15th, 2012 
at the New York Public Library as a part of the "A Century of Art" exhibit.
