Have a Great Memorial Day

If you have the opportunity to do so, thank a veteran for their service because it is through the efforts of our men and women in the military that we can create art without prohibition.

Look back to a few examples of how creative efforts have been suppressed:

•  Nazi Germany and the Degenrate Art show–included artists such as Kanidnsky, Paul Klee, and many others
• The closure of the Bauhaus
• Glance at the post about North Korean art to see what happens when art is purely in the service of the state
• The art of Stalinist Russia
•   ”       ”     ”   Communist China
• and so forth….

Where creative efforts are suppressed the human spirit withers.
