Last Sunday I went to see a couple of exhibits at the Fort Bard in the beautiful Aosta Valley in north Italy.

One of the exhibits was of paintings by Fernando Botero, an artist I particularly like. The other exhibit was a photographic one: “Magnum America. The United States“.

Looking at the Magnum exhibits I got more pissed at every image. All the show was pure anti-American propaganda. Not a single picture was showing anything positive about the USA.

Last Sunday I went to see a couple of exhibits at the Fort Bard in the beautiful Aosta Valley in north Italy.

One of the exhibits was of paintings by Fernando Botero, an artist I particularly like. The other exhibit was a photographic one: “Magnum America. The United States“.

Looking at the Magnum exhibits I got more pissed at every image. All the show was pure anti-American propaganda. Not a single picture was showing anything positive about the USA. Zero, nada. All of the images with their captions were just 100% propaganda to show the “dark side” of capitalism, free market and free people.

Check out the video if you want to hear the details.

It’s a fact that I have a soft spot for the USA, I love the Founding Fathers and what they created. I don’t pretend to see only the positive aspects of the USA and the free market culture, but there is not a single exhibits in the last years, specially if by Magnum photographers, that is not pure negativity about the USA.

It’s always some propaganda, anti-American, anti-Israel, promoting the climate change scam or whatever is the propaganda of the moment.

It’s not just sad and wrong, it’s 100% predictable and boring!

Art needs freedom!

Too bad every day we have less and less freedom in the EU.
