This painting is a messy collage of cut-out images and scribbled words. You see a giant eye with the word "TAKEN!" stamped over it, a close-up of a red mouth shouting "GIVE!" and a soldier in the background. The colors are mostly black, yellow, and red, with torn edges and scribbled text everywhere. The artist mixed real photos with handwritten words to make a chaotic message. The words "take" and "give" repeat over and over, like a protest sign. Look up Thomas Hirschhorn to see more of his work.
