Animals Terrorize Suburban Towns in Paintings by John Brosio
I have mentioned my disdain for the abuse the galleries and auctions give to art titles before . This is a perfect example of what I mean. Without the context of this title, this piece would have no emotional impact. With the title, it made a big impression on a biophile like me. It made the connection of who we are and where we are. That is something we forget too often and that extinction hunts us as much as the T rex.
