Communist Utopia

1. The eyes in the painting indicate Communism. The eyes represent the government and how it is always watching you. 

2. The author has a negative view on Communism. The grayness of everything show these negative feelings towards Communism. It shows that under Communism everything is kind of dull. Also, everything in the painting is dying or deteriorating showing these negative feelings as well. I believe the author sees Communism as a temporary fix to the problems, as evident through the cracking of the walls showing the bright red brick. Communism is the gray cement covering up these bricks, but it is slowly getting chipped away showing that Communism is something that can not be permanent.

3. This painting's name "Communist Utopia" is very sarcastic. The author chose this name to show that Communism may last for a little while and be fine for the time being, but it can not last forever. The dullness of the paining clearly highlights this sarcasm because utopias are associated with positive, happy feelings, but this painting show the exact opposite. I believe the title was intended to get the viewers to think about the affects and maybe consequences that Communism brings.
