Following some helpful feedback, I'm going to post more people-pleasing and edifying pictures with less tortured political innuendo. Beauty may not save the world, but it certainly helps the medicine go down.

Egon Schiele. Harbor of Trieste, 1907.

I like his landscape work even better than his more famous human figures, though they're not so far apart. Also, I'm always surprised how he, Kirchner, Gauguin and the like (there's a list) have escaped broader censure in our age of MeToo.
