14 Defining Characteristics of Fascism
oil on multiple canvases
2017
This 14 painting series was inspired by a list I saw churning around the internet called "The 14 Defining Characteristics of Fascism" - below are the descriptions the author used. A tidy intellectual categorization of human behavior that was a delightful challenge to situate in a natural outdoor environment.
Powerful and Continuing Nationalism
Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights
Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause
Obsession with National Security
Religion and Government are Intertwined
Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts
Obsession with Crime and Punishment
