The Charnel House is one of Picasso's most political paintings. I have become very involved in a hot political topic here in NYS - public education. Our governor wants to make some disastrous changes and cuts to education, and I have been attending rallies, protests, and various other political gatherings to speak out for what I believe in. Every Tuesday is "Take Action Tuesday" when we all wear our union tee shirts and buttons.
Normally I would not commit the fashion faux pas of wearing a long sleeved tee under a short sleeved one, but hey, we're still in winter lockdown here and it's cold! If I wear a sweater or blazer you won't be able to see the important message on the back of my shirt.
How Picasso's painting is represented in this outfit:
Aside from both outfit and painting containing political messages, while I'm not wearing the solid colors of black and white, I am wearing quite a bit of solid red, and there is a smattering of white throughout my outfit. The bold, chaotic nature of the bottom half of my outfit (bold patterned pants, and a second pattern in my shoes) represents the bold, chaotic nature of the bodies under the table in Picasso's painting.
