AVENTURA MALL ART

LIBERTY WEEPS AVENTURA MALL

I took this picture in the Aventura Mall in the new section near the Ferrari Store. I found out more about this image on the New York Times website. Here's the info from the series of Thoughts on Democracy...

"Liberty Weeps" by Elliott Earls, 2008.

Clearly, Norman Rockwell’s America this is not. Elliott Earls’s reinterpretation of Rockwell’s “Four Freedoms” practically screams. A little girl seems to be crying, her eye bruised, with an American flag in the background and two words framing her figure: “Liberty Weeps.” The color scheme is red, white and blue, but patriotic pride has been supplanted by sadness.
