Art is a medium to express oneself at times of happiness, anger, frustration, depression, uncertainty, etc. It has been and still is the most used medium of expression at the time of slavary, depression, wars, etc. It has been and still is being used to capture the intensity of events. Democracy in Iraq has changed things for the unprivillaged people and that is the message this artist has for outsiders in his paintings.

Re: war begets an Iraqi Art Gallery?
i certainly hope the navy lieutenant works on bringing the priceless and ancient art of iraq back from the private collections of the rich and famous, and put them back in the museum of iraq, from where they were looted in the first place.
