The Beautiful Paintings
Politician: Beautiful Paintings…
Politician: …but frankly, I prefer paintings that are exhibited outside of galleries, on the streets and in public squares
Politician: …they can be admired by a wider public, and this generates immense revenues and privileges for the owners of the buildings.
Politician: “Like this painting…”
Message on the painting:… “vote for your candidate!”
