Accidental Empires – Oil Paintings by Matthew Quick

by Desmond Ignaz 2013-11-15, 11:43 AMupdated 2017-12-30, 12:06 PM

 

“When the US seized Baghdad, the soldiers celebrated by destroying art. Removing contemporary politics, this destruction illustrates how little has changed psychologically in the 1500 years since the barbarian sack of Rome. With one notable difference. Rome was destroyed by uneducated warriors. In Baghdad, the event was stage-managed for TV.” – Matthew Quick
