Mashups, Markets and Motherhood

Dec 25 2011
This painting is a classic by Milan Kunc. Milan was a contemporary and student of acclaimed German artist Joseph Beuys, Kunc is widely accepted as the originator of the East Pop movement of the late 1970s and co-founder of the Gruppe Normal collective in 1980.

He’s also my uncle (my mother’s brother).

This one’s from 1978 but I was reminded of it watching this weekend’s Russia protests. Fresh all over again.
