#SilentSunday

(My philosophy of silent Sunday is to usually shut up and leave the description in the hashtags and comments, but I would like to point out the tiny detail of the fast food meal remnant by the green door. I didn’t notice it when I took the picture, but I think it makes the piece. 🔍️)

An alleyway in the downtown Chicago Loop. The corner of striped old stone building from the ..twenties? is covered with some kind of metal cladding to prevent truck damage. Everything has been graffitied and repainted, so the effect is of an abstract painting.

What art can do (or can’t); What protests do (or don’t)

🧵/3: observers

Personally? As a sometimes introvert, protests are NOT in my comfort zone. Not usually very big on crowds, and chanting in unison ain’t my jam. And do they really work for anything?

But.

I still feel the need to stand and be counted. (Even if it meant being across the river from the Trump Tower FAR too many times from 2016 to 2020)

On the left, a spectator dwarfed by Barbara Kruger’s classic work showing a disembodied hand holding the slogan “I shop therefore I am”. On the right, several fashionably dressed onlookers outside of the posh Chicago Athletic club, leaning against the wall with disdainful expressions.A lone counter protester with anti-Biden signs standing on a sidewalk planter. To the left, a detail from a Frederick Remington Western painting that shows a US Cavalry officer galloping off, rifle firing into the air.The smug expressions of four suited employees and members of the Chicago Athletic cub are echoed by a Weimar era self portrait in a black tuxedo by painter Max Beckmann.On the left, several almost cartoony villagers on parade from a townscape by Lionel Feininger. On the right, yes, that is indeed a reporter dressed up as a knight from Monty Python, interviewing a fellow protester.

(Yes, as an #SAIC alum, I most definitely know my way around the museum, thankYouVeryMuch :mastorofl: :mastowink:)

A late 19th century portrait of a confident young Chicago upper class socialite in a gauzy white dress stands in sharp contrast to a woman in a blue puffy parka and neon green scarf, holding a cardboard sign that says “I HATE WHITE SUPREMACY” in bold red letters. Both women share the same look of determination in their eyes.Two volunteer protest marshals are walking their bikes in the photo on the left. Because of the way the photo of an abstract painting by Kandinsky, it appears that the back wheel of one of the bikes is also the wheel of a cannon spouting wild abstract forms in the painting on the left.Scribbly rectangular shapes from a detail of a Cy Twombly painting on the left are echoed by a bright pink rectangle on a sign held aloft by a protester on the right. The pink of the sign, and her red hat and vest, stand on contrast to the greys and tans of the rest of the protesters clothing, the cityscape behind, and the beige colors of the Twombly painting.On the right, a kneeling person in a grey parka hunched over in a crowd to either check their phone or rest. To the left, massed hunched figures from one of Goya’s Capriccios (a series of etchings depicting myths and human folly) form a more haunting scene.
