The Monster Drawing


Who is this, and whom is he trying to strangle? It looks like some kind of monster, but as we know the one who is a monster to someone, may be an angel to someone else. That makes it quite difficult to define anybody as a genuine and stable monster: There is no water-proof, staying definition that excludes all shades of doubt. For instance, it has been a weird experience to see someone like e.g. Adolph Hitler changing from monster-status into someone being extolled as a kind of idol. I always saw him as the king of monsters, although he himself isn't unparalleled: History speaks of many evil and cruel people, and he is just one out of many. Who knows what the artist painting this gruesome scenery - Sergey Kolesow - had in mind, was it someone specific or was he out to picture cruelty as such?
