Mom
artist unknown

Next to "Naked Girl Beneath Dead Tree," this is the most psychologically twisted, I mean, meaningful, painting in my collection. There's the broccoli and onion trees, the intimidatingly oppressive and institutional looking building (possibly a prison), and above it all, a breast shaped mountain complete with a pink nipple. To make absolutely sure you comprehend his symbolism, the artist has inscribed the word "Mom" on the mountain. Next image in series is close up. Butch and Madelyn of Squealer Records bought this in Durham, NC, and donated it to the Panic Research Agency.
