Art TELLS Life


This 16th century Flemish [Belgian] painting takes a dim view of what happens when we humans turn on one another and devour one another.  This is happening right now, when uncaring and unfeeling economics are leaving too many workers in the U.S. with too few resources. 

(from the Chicago Art Institute---that city's museum):

16th century painting of big fish shown to be filled with smaller fish after big fish dies, an analogy for rich people feeding on poorer people
