“Bad Day On The High Sea” – Probaby The Greatest Painting Of All Times

This painting (well, a copy of it) is hanging on the wall of my office. If you don’t believe me, just come to New York City and ask for the guy that runs WhalesAndWienerDogs.com and I’ll prove it to you. It’s a whale fighting a squid who’s being attacked by some sort of Jesus-y “I can walk on water” T-rex.

Here’s an explanation from the artist’s web sheet.

Here, raw sexual aggression is symbolized by the sperm whale, while the squid acts as a thinly-disguised metaphor for the multi-armed oligarchies of Rockefeller, Hearst, and Morgan. Their battle plays against the backdrop of the sea, standing in for–what else?–the vastness of the unconscious mind.
