Oscar Camillo de las Flores

Detail of a complex, layered, politically-inspired colonic system by a Latin artist who pulls no punches - Oscar Camillo de las Flores gives me the itch to draw again. Click the image to see larger version of his amazing attention to every little scathing item.

Here's a Guy who when he sees a Shit Head - calls a spade a spade. I love this man's work.

And of course - the international gesture...

Anton Refregier (1905-1979) born in Moscow. His most famous mural is the 27-panel work.  Refregier won this commission from the Section of Fine Arts in 1940 and completed the work in 1948. This mural was the costliest ($26,000) and most controversial of the Public Works, sparking national debate over the inclusion of controversial events from California’s history. Shortly after the murals’ completion a conservative Republican Congressman (the now forgotten Herbert Scudder- erroneously referred to as a senator or a state Representative) demanded the work be covered, insisting the work defamed the pioneers and reflected negatively on California’s past.
