In 1964, Gerhard Richter painted my favorite painting currently displayed in Stockholm at the Moderna Museet, the Dadaist spirit it embodies denies the rules of originality in the subversion of emblematic images, against the ideological neutrality of pop art.

Warhol and Lichtenstein produced sequential images devoid of soul and ideological weight, mass production means sealing that fall of values that already in the French New Realism were at the mercy of artists, now in the conformist and alienating 2009 with 40-hour work weeks and 15 days of vacation, for those who are lucky, with the deceitful hope of becoming billionaires with the lottery, we find the bourgeoisie at their parties in elegant dresses, getting bored and drinking like in "La Dolce Vita", where appearing has inexorably replaced being.
