Symbolist painting, profound disillusionment. Extreme low-angle perspective, viewer looking up at a monumental, tattered American flag dominating the foreground, its fabric heavy like stone and carved with the eroded word "HYPOCRISY" into a stripe. Through the flag's translucent, ghostly material, a vast army of timeless, universal soldier forms is visibleâtransparent but clear, their faces hollow, standing in silent ranks and flanked by the faint outlines of hovering helicopter silhouettes. In the distant, misty background, a shimmering, neglected Nobel Peace Prize medal lies tarnished in the mud. Somber, muted color palette of slate, ash, and faded red. Ethereal, painterly style with dramatic chiaroscuro lighting, reminiscent of Gustave Moreau. Masterpiece, high detail, powerful allegory. See more
