This Santa Claus became Santa Claus (up to today) and not just in the ads of the famous beverage. The primary question isn’t whether the children of the western world without Coca-Cola would have been deprived of the joy of a supernatural gift, but what triggered the popular imagination to 'canonize' an advertising image.

Komposition VI is a constant clash of waves, one into the other, forming unrecognizable figures, broken by lines that, like violent rain, create explosions that give rise to vortices of color. Nature, reality, and forms do not influence the artist: only his soul must be the protagonist and the only way to make the unfathomable real is to seek its abstract outline to then destroy its boundaries.

The Pioneer plaques were like messages in a bottle, sent into a universal ocean: seeing it this way means thinking that we are like castaways and as such in need of help and prey to loneliness. Sagan’s goal was more to 'speak' with earthlings rather than with extraterrestrials, communicating a message of belonging, with the related 'humility' cosmic.

If the concept of 'beautiful' is undefinable the concept of 'unique' is quantifiable, it’s all about taking a stand: in this regard, this 'architectural pastiche' succeeds very well. Not knowing how to be is now a status symbol of this era made of cars not tailored for parking: I think of this as, dissident, my thought wanders in search of some non-hostile face but today is a day of escape for most.

Kirchner considered the great metropolises as examples of aberrant civilization and those who lived there as mere weathervanes destined to sink in the imminent storms. The colors and frantic tones are in deliberate contrast with each other, and the perspective is distorted to enhance the dramatic sense of inevitable decline.
