One Third of a Nation by O. Louis Guglielmi canvas
“I see one-third of a nation ill-housed, ill-clad, ill-nourished.” With these words, FDR captured the despair of the Great Depression—echoed in Guglielmi’s One Third of a Nation (1939). Coffin-like shapes lie before ghostly tenements, painted in bleak tones of brown, grey, and ochre. A floral wreath crowns the building like a silent elegy. Stark and symbolic, the work blurs realism and metaphor to mourn a fractured America and expose its silent suffering

"If the path be beautiful, let us not ask where it leads - Anatole France"
I love walking around, trying to find the beauty hidden in the most common places. From the most majestic monument to the tiniest insect, beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder
