I am proud to present you my champion for the "Kunst für alle" Competition from @berliner_abendblatt and @berlinerrundfunk.

It shows a woman leading several naked men with wings on leashes.

The nude men are some of the greatest artists in history: Warhol, Dali, Picasso, van Gogh.

It shows how dependent artists are on reach and money, that they even give up their divinity and behave like animals to please their owners." It becomes clear that the closer they are to society, the more compliant they are, the more they are fed and cared for. The farther away they are, the longer the leashes, so the more freedom they have, but the emaciated they are.

In the background there is a section of Berlin’s East Side Gallery, which embodies the art scene in general with its diversity of different art styles and trends.

This is my decleration of war to the way artists have to beg for attention
