"Is there nothing to weep about in this world anymore? Is all our pity and anger to be reduced to a few tastefully arranged straight lines or petulant squirts from a tube held over a canvas? All the wheels of business and advertising are turning night and day to prove the colossal falsehood that America is smiling. And they want me to add my two percent. Hell, no."
--Ben Shahn, social realist painter / photographer in the 1920s - 30s
