Didn't know there were french jinglers acting theivin' my bad, just thought it was cute and creative didn't mean to bring u down.

Am a lover not a h8r. Not like I posted that u tube video of girls dancin skanky in their jingle dresses.

This link wasn't meant to offend. Sorry to n e one who feels its mockery.

Freedoms just another word for nothin left to loose. That statue represents freedom to the masses. A beacon of hope and due to that to me this image isn't offensive. Some actually see beauty in it.

Emotions can be virus' which ones do you wanna spread?

For all those beautiful souls out there, keep it upbeat and pure as much as you can if for nothing else for the little ones to see there is more in this world then hate, anger and fear.

We all shape reality, which way do you want it to go?

Indian Princess?

Bartholdi and Laboulaye considered how best to express the idea of American liberty.[15] In early American history, two female figures were frequently used as cultural symbols of the nation.[16] One, Columbia, was seen as an embodiment of the United States in the manner that Britannia was identified with the United Kingdom and Marianne came to represent France. Columbia had supplanted the earlier figure of an Indian princess, which had come to be regarded as uncivilized and derogatory toward Americans.[16] The other significant female icon in American culture was a representation of Liberty, derived from Libertas, the goddess of freedom widely worshipped in ancient Rome, especially among emancipated slaves. A Liberty figure adorned most American coins of the time,[15] and representations of Liberty appeared in popular and civic art, including Thomas Crawford's Statue of Freedom (1863) atop the dome of the United States Capitol Building.[15]

Artists of the 18th and 19th centuries striving to evoke republican ideals commonly used representations of Liberty.[15] A figure of Liberty was also depicted on the Great Seal of France.[15] However, Bartholdi and Laboulaye avoided an image of revolutionary liberty such as that depicted in Eugène Delacroix's famed Liberty Leading the People (1830). In this painting, which commemorates France's Revolution of 1830, a half-clothed Liberty leads an armed mob over the bodies of the fallen.[16] Laboulaye had no sympathy for revolution, and so Bartholdi's figure would be fully dressed in flowing robes.[16] Instead of the impression of violence in the Delacroix work, Bartholdi wished to give the statue a peaceful appearance and chose a torch, representing progress, for the figure to hold.[17]

Crawford's statue was designed in the early 1850s. It was originally to be crowned with a pileus, the cap given to emancipated slaves in ancient Rome. Secretary of War Jefferson Davis, a Southerner who would later serve as president of the Confederate States of America, was concerned that the pileus would be taken as an abolitionist symbol. He ordered that it be changed to a helmet.[18] Delacroix's figure wears a pileus,[16] and Bartholdi at first considered placing one on his figure as well. Instead, he used a diadem, or crown, to top its head.[19] In so doing, he avoided a reference to Marianne, who invariably wears a pileus.[20] The seven rays form a halo or aureole.[21] They evoke the sun, the seven seas, and the seven continents,[22] and represent another means, besides the torch, whereby Liberty enlightens the world.[17]

Bartholdi's early models were all similar in concept: a female figure in neoclassical style representing liberty, wearing a stola and pella (gown and cloak, common in depictions of Roman goddesses) and holding a torch aloft. The face was modeled after that of Charlotte Beysser Bartholdi, the sculptor's mother.[23] He designed the figure with a strong, uncomplicated silhouette, which would be set off well by its dramatic harbor placement and allow passengers on vessels entering New York Bay to experience a changing perspective on the statue as they proceeded toward Manhattan. He gave it bold classical contours and applied simplified modeling, reflecting the huge scale of the project and its solemn purpose.[17] Bartholdi wrote of his technique:


Thomas Crawford's Statue of Freedom

The surfaces should be broad and simple, defined by a bold and clear design, accentuated in the important places. The enlargement of the details or their multiplicity is to be feared. By exaggerating the forms, in order to render them more clearly visible, or by enriching them with details, we would destroy the proportion of the work. Finally, the model, like the design, should have a summarized character, such as one would give to a rapid sketch. Only it is necessary that this character should be the product of volition and study, and that the artist, concentrating his knowledge, should find the form and the line in its greatest simplicity.[24]

Bartholdi made alterations in the design as the project evolved. Bartholdi considered having Liberty hold a broken chain, but decided this would be too divisive in the days after the Civil War. The erected statue does rise over a broken chain, half-hidden by her robes and difficult to see from the ground.[19] Bartholdi was initially uncertain of what to place in Liberty's left hand; he settled on a tabula ansata, a keystone-shaped tablet[25] used to evoke the concept of law.[26] Though Bartholdi greatly admired the United States Constitution, he chose to inscribe "JULY IV MDCCLXXVI" on the tablet, thus associating the date of the country's Declaration of Independence with the concept of liberty.[25]

Anyways, as I've posted here before, the Statue of Liberty has her back turned to Native America, and lifts her lighted torch toward the "masses" of Europe.

The monarchies and governments of Europe were able to send their disaffected poor to America, otherwise they would revolt and kill these oppressive rich rulers.

History...

Defacement of memorials however trivial and artistic are amusing. Perhaps is an anarchic inspiration, or maybe its just someone being silly.

The history of this country is effed. We all know that. can focus on the tradgic past but the atrocities being done right now need stood up for.

Thanks for sharing the history and again sorry to offend you, but there are so many causes that need energy poured into them that could improve the NOW.. like the fact bear butte is in constant risk for being destroyed for oil, or the toxic waste dumpings underground, or even arizona trying to take navajo and hopi water rights, kids being punished n school for speaking their language Drug use and rape running rampant, kids killing their families. Immigrants getting more respect with a foreign I.D than someone with a tribal one. And if anyone wants to get worked up, there r much better things to get worked up over than some n8v bein silly and sharin a laugh


Where I come from laughter is good for the soul.

Disney, warner brothers, the author of wizard of oz. All extremely racist and derogatory towards n8vs. Mascots, TV shows, haloween costumes, childrens birthday parties constantly promoting ignorance among everyone in the world toward our race.

Choose podiums wisely and where your words can do the most.

Share a smile, they are the best virus is this zombie infested society

This is some more of that artists work

Here’s Judd’s own statement on that particular bill:

“For those that don’t know andrew jackson’s views on Indigenous people, I encourage you to read up on it. Start with the Indian Removal Act. I’m NOT putting a head dress on him, I’m just trying to make it look like it’s a Native, gave him brown skin etc. done with India ink and colored pencils – Steven Paul Judd”
