"Wall", but not quite from Pink Floyd

12
Who will have a question about this not quite clear cocktail, I will sort it out.





I hope no one needs to explain what the Pink Floyd group is. Especially about her landmark album “The Wall”.

The album will soon be 40 years old, since it was released on November 30 1979 of the year. And in honor of this date, the artist, caricaturist and comic-maker Vitaly Shcherbak created a series of posters on this topic.

Vitaly Shcherbak is the very Vitaly, whose drawings often become an adornment of articles in the Military Review. That is our employee. Well, “Military Review” in the person of the administration helped to realize his plans and make it real.



What can be said about the exhibition?

In two ways. If we take the meaning that the authors of texts, music and ideas laid, then everything is forever. The walls that we build around us are forever, like life itself. Just because we have such a life. It is very difficult to live with the soul wide open, so here I will say briefly - each has its own Wall, and nothing can be done about it.















I do not know who is like, personally, I found for myself the second component.

Yes, in the album the condemnation of totalitarianism takes even, probably, a large part of the meaning. There are people who believe that only fascism is condemned there, in fact, no. It is totalitarianism in any of its manifestations.

In fact, fascism, Nazism, nationalism, religious all these regimes ... But what difference does it make in the end if people die? In the name of not the purest and lightest ideals? They died, die and will die. While there are walls.

Vitaly has an interesting color scheme. Black and red are predominant, and even (in my opinion) in greater volume than in the original.



Well, yes, black, white and red, and even an eagle with a wreath and the sun ... I see.

But the black and red combination now has another hidden meaning.



Got it, right?

Overlaps, and nothing can be done about it. Many similarities, too many. The walls in the brain did not change in fifty years, alas.







When people come to such an event, discuss, argue, and express opinions - that's fine. When a canvas, a poster, a drawing evoke emotions, you begin to think, draw analogies ... I've spent it for myself. Happened.

So, in my case, Vitaly with his posters achieved exactly the result that should have taken place. I went to the Wall, I walked around it, I saw that it had not changed much in the past forty years.

I don't need any walls around.
And no drugs will console me.
I saw a message on the wall.
I think I don't need anything at all.
Not. I don’t think I need anything at all.
In general, all these were only bricks in the wall.
In general, all these were only bricks in the wall.


Well, suppose “nothing is needed at all” - this is definitely not about us.

So I congratulate Vitaly on the exhibition, thank you for your thoughts and analogies, everything will work. Good luck, and that not the last event was. Caricature is very scary. weapon today, but as it turned out, such poster art is capable of evoking thoughts.

No smile.

What smiles can be on a red-black background, isn't it?

    as rightly said Roman. Good luck to Vitaly on his path, his drawings are accurate, and evil under the hour, beating to the point. hi (and in my head "kicks" surfaced ... I haven't listened for a long time, now I download and listen to it in the car.)

      From such an "installation" in Banderstadt, for sure, someone will piss with boiling water ...

      Roman is growing ... growing ... it pleases. smile
      It’s already discussing the walls in the brains ... this is a philosophical question and arises in a person with gaining life experience.
      Pink Floyd is a very original group ... at one time they were addicted to drugs to increase their creative potential ... then, of course, they tied up with this.
      But the creativity of this group corresponded to the spirit of the time when it existed.
      Now the era is somewhat different ... the world has changed beyond recognition with the departure of the USSR.
      Of course, it’s nice to listen and take a look at Pink Floyd’s work ... feel the spirit of the 70-80s.

        ..the world has changed beyond recognition with the departure of the USSR.
        That is, has changed thanks to the departure of the USSR? Yes, it has changed and not for the better.

        It’s easy to live wide open and everyone lived like that, who didn’t have a stone in his bosom. And the walls began to be built with the collapse of the USSR, when "mine and this is also mine" appeared. Oh, how right is the wall! And be moved. One can and should live without a wall. "Man is a friend to man, comrade and brother.

    And I thought VITALY is Podvitsky with RIA.ru
    In Podvitsky, however, the "cartoons" are even more loyal.

    Moreover, there is about Bandera laughing
    Alza la bandera revolucionaria

    That’s the truth, how they drove the Nazis - you can’t describe it ...

    The walls we build around ourselves are eternal, like life itself. Just because we have such a life. It is very difficult to live openly with my soul, so here I will say briefly - each has its own Wall, and there is nothing to be done about it.

    What nonsense.
    There is an ancient, good saying, which does not leave stone upon stone from this statement and from this Wall. And it sounds like this:
    " Sow the act - reap the habit, sow the habit - reap the character, sow the character - reap the fate "
    The propagandists did a good job on this album and it was created exclusively against the USSR.
    Everything that Pink Floyd then created themselves, without "outside" help and did not come close to this level. I can’t stand him - mentality is completely alien to us.
    In fact, fascism, Nazism, nationalism

    You missed Zionism ...

    Congratulations to Vitaly with the exhibition. His works on HE are, indeed, an adornment of many articles. But a talented person, as they say, is talented in everything. And now we see another confirmation of this.

    I am not a fan of installations, but the crossed mallets on the armband suggest sad thoughts. Whom will these bandaged guys hammer under? And if it was only Bandera ... It’s uncomfortable somehow in this world, all sorts of thoughts get into your head. Bad
    And the artist Vitaliy the Real is immediately noticeable. Creative success and pep to him! hi
