Proposal Title: Masscre of the Black Madonna by means of Depleted Uranium, 02/20/2009, Painting

Proposal Synopsis: The function of the artist is to disturb. His duty is to arouse the sleepers, to shake the complacent. He reminds the world of its dark ancestry, shows the world its present, and points the way to its birth. He is at once the product of and preceptor of his time. After his passage, we are troubled and made unsure of our too easily-accepted realities. He makes uneasy the static, the set and the still. In a world terrified of change, he preaches revolution â?? the principle of life. He is an agitator, a disturber of the peace â?? quick, impatient, positive, restless and disquieting. He is the creative spirit working in the soul of man. -Norman Bethune
