Yesterday was Veterans
Day.
Veterans Day is an
annual American holiday honoring
military veterans
(Usually
observed on November 11. )
"We shall never forget..."
On the 4th of July I gave this small collage painting to my neighbor, who is a retired navy officer.
What I like of this small collage is that it's hard to see what's glued and what's painted.
In this collage painting I only used
the national colors.
The American flag is
covering the
whole collage.
On the right hand side there's the word:
"LIVE"
A
watch is taken apart.
It jumps up high, with the glass as
a magnifier showing the word:
"America".
The clock represents TIME: the soldier from birth to old age.
The clock represents also 'time moving forward and marching onward'
The silver and gold in this collage sparkle like
a
solar system with milllions of tiny
points of bright light, stretching out
into infinity....
It represents time as duration: a
beginning
and an end.

Excellent collage and a great tribute to all us veterans. I know you are a famous artist but I would be humbled if you would look at my artwork (digital) remembering none of the work is a photograph nor an altered or manipullated photograph, I have never hand any formal training. Again thank you so much for you tribute to Veterans (vietnam-era here)Alberto D'Assumpcao 15 Nov 2009
