The young Aniska, whose portrait we see now, is a member of the Communist Young Pioneers organisation; you can tell by the red scarf she wears around her neck. What is moving in this picture is that the painter, David Sterenberg, has chosen to show the girl in the uniform of a collective organisation, while at the same time conveying a feeling of absolute loneliness
^^^^^^^ CB: I don't know , it could be moving because it shows significant individuality ( not loneliness) in the context of collectivity. Naturally, a libertarian sees loneliness instead of his beloved individuality in a depiction of Soviet life. Even non-abstract art is understood based on the mind of the observer. _______________________________________________ Marxism-Thaxis mailing list Marxism-Thaxis@lists.econ.utah.edu To change your options or unsubscribe go to: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/marxism-thaxis
