I like the retro look of this poster a lot, but I KNOW some people are going to have a problem with it, because those OBVIOUSLY are Union soldiers he's leading. ;-)

God bless America.

Artist: Peter Max

[DoughtyOne]

Thank you. Very nice.

[DoughtyOne]

Yes, that's true. I didn't pick the painting for the uniforms, but it may bother some. Once before when I posted it someone got upset about it. Oh well...

[summer]

My pleasure. Thank YOU. :)!

BTW, I like a lot of different types of art. This year I went to a gallery where Peter Max was having a show of his work. But I also spent a lot of time at an Orlando museum showing an exhibit of Grandma Moses' work. Sometimes I really enjoy this kind of folk art, which I think is very reflective of the USA and therefore patriotic:

This photo is an original, taken by me at the March for Justice, Oct 31, 1998.

I like that a lot.  Grandma Moses is an interesting situation, starting later in life and all.

See if you like this.  LINK
