I should have explained the rules.
You have to pick the one you like best out of the two and then add one in the next post.

"Since the historic ruling, the Lovings have become icons for equality. Mildred released a statement on the 40th anniversary of the ruling in 2007: 'I am proud that Richard’s and my name is on a court case that can help reinforce the love, the commitment, the fairness, and the family that so many people, Black or white, young or old, gay or straight, seek in life. I support the freedom to marry for all. That’s what Loving, and loving, are all about.'." - Mildred Loving (Loving v. Virginia)Comment

That first one looks like a cross between an illustration of an Ayn Rand novel and those Tom of Finland paintings.Originally posted by Billy Jingo View Post

Probably because the artist who did the cover for a few of her reissues uses the same soft cubist Art Deco style of Tamara de Lempicka.Originally posted by Celeste Chalfonte View Post
I think he did the Ayn Rand postage stamp, too.
Her stuff is very close to iconic. I recognize it immediately or at least works that are derivative.“Thus it is that no cruelty whatsoever passes by without impact. Thus it is that we always pay dearly for chasing after what is cheap.”

Whatever. I didn't mean it as a compliment. There's very little Cubism that appeals to me, and that particular brand of soullessness, not at all. And I don't really care if it's a statement. It's ugly.Originally posted by Billy Jingo View Post"Since the historic ruling, the Lovings have become icons for equality.

Boring, but inoffensively so (unless one happens to have paid a great deal of money for one, but that's self-inflicted). The hyper-stylized pictures feel like fascist poster propaganda instead of art. JMO, needless to say.Originally posted by Billy Jingo View Post"Since the historic ruling, the Lovings have become icons for equality.
