"Wall", but not quite from Pink Floyd
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?
