Humanscape 43, 1968 by #MelCasas on view at @smithsonian as part of the “Artists Respond: American Art and the Vietnam War, 1965-1975” exhibition. • “A leading figure in Con Safo, one of the earliest #Chicano art groups. Casas has been drafted, served in and injured in the #KoreanWar. This experience informed his opposition to the #UnitedStates involvement in the #VietnamWar. In the artists words, “the skills of war are a killing” - a statement projected here. $KILL$ also stresses what Casas considered the financial motivations driving war; as Casas put it “dollars kill”.” • #ArtAboveReality #LookWhatArtFound #Inspiring #Art #Curator #ContemporaryArt #FineArt #ArtMarket #ContemporaryPainting #CollectArt #ContemporaryArtCollectors #LiveWithArt #ArtConsultant #ShotOniPhone #PartsOfPaintings #Galleries #ContemporaryArtist #ArtistsOnInstagram (at Smithsonian American Art Museum and the Renwick Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx21uT4HOXy/?igshid=y5vpyqn1zg9n
