Artistically interesting... :)
Rather Frenchy wouldn't you say? :P
It looks as thought Liberty didn't shave her pits....
the death of Sardanapalus looks more like an orgy at first sight :p
شو قصته هيدا يلي مرتاح عوضعه عالتخت؟
As for March 14 expectations, I can tell you from now: same as Feb 14, 15, 16 etc... ma shi jdid! well, except for more speeches & lovers' quarrels on the agenda.
"Viens voir les comédiens, voir les musiciens, voir les magiciens qui arrivent"... :)
Pity the nation that has no artistic taste, that fails to see symbolism, and does not even have the curiosity to Google paintings before commenting.
"La liberté guidant le peuple" back in school i used to wonder what it meant when seeing it in that french literature book .. later i admired it for what it bears of symbols..
eve, i couldn't stop laughing when i read:
شو قصته هيدا يلي مرتاح عوضعه عالتخت؟
u always manage to see beyond and yet bring an air of humour into said things...
I like the painting "La liberté guidant le peuple" (which was indeed on the French literature book) which shows the contrast between the dead bodies on the bottom of the painting and the soldiers holding their rifles pointing to the sky, and the woman that symbolizes the liberty holding the tricoloured french flag symbol of the freedom, equality and fraternity. We cannot accomplish the Freedom without fighting for it and without losses and casualties. That's exactly what's happening in Lebanon. The urge to reach for the freedom is also symbolized through the person in the middle of the painting who is dying, but fighting to reach for Liberty, who is showing the people where the path of salvation is. Anyway, I liked the idea of posting paintings, delirious.
Yes, assaad it sure is :)
