Society in Art

Paintings, Life in Vietnam, Ho Chi Ming City, Vietnam


Aristocrat, bourgeois, proletariat -

a postulate of equality,
Marxist and Leninist philosophy -
a make-believe classless society,
inspired by the promise of heaven,
imprimatur of theology;
abstracted by art,
a distorted reality -
through beauty.
