Explosione (Angeli 0775)

Explosion, 1974

The symbol of the capitalist eagle is painted the color of blood which more or less defines how strongly Angeli opposes the practice. In other words, he would greatly wish to abolish or perish fighting for the cause than succumb to its ways. Interestedly, the star-esque ideogram the bird rests upon has 15 points which in many cultures represents military, war, and communism. Angeli joined the communist party early in his art career, yet was anti-war.
