A Magical World

Last week I stumbled upon the Italian artist Max Papeschi. Specifically his work dealing with some extreme social commentaries. Minnie and Mickey juxtaposed against a backdrop of war and destruction, the Atomic Bomb. But don't worry, the magical cartoon characters are still smiling. 


In an interview with Papeschi he says this is nothing against America, per say, it's not too far off from what is going on in our country. If you can't relate it to how the majority of our population is acting in relation to the economy (turning a blind eye), how about the fact that Minnie and Mickey look like they are about to get hitched? Is it commenting on the way we look and deal with marriage or any kind of union?


It would be interesting to hear what art students might think of this image.
