Discuss this Artwork (10 messages) A silent tribute to the woman who started it all.Bridget Armozel It's a rare tribute that I see at my university everyday. That despite all the socialist crap taught there, there is one marker for truth, justice, and capitalism among them. They, the socialists, cannot stop the nature of the optimal human; they seek only to steal its fire. -- Bridget

Discuss this Artwork (3 messages) Wendy D. Bateman Wendy D. Bateman has, over the years, created a series of highly detailed, representational, and life-affirming works. This digital painting is inspired by the art of Alphonse Mucha – a prolific painter of 1920s stylized representational art. Particularly remarkable here is the detail on the hair.

To this day, this small and badly framed oil painting is the only real thing in my house. It actually looks stunningly good from just a bit of distance. The online r... (See the whole comment)

It penetrates through the clouds and rises toward the stars, suggesting that Man's elevation is limited only by the extent of his initiative and exertion. This painting is a worthwhile vision of a future of ever-expanding human freedom and opportunity, and provi... (See the whole comment)
