The Republic is Tested: History Unfolds Before our Eyes is a bold and colorful chronicle that sits at the intersection of American history, politics and visual arts. An emerging pseudonymous artist has created a unique book of narrative paintings depicting headline news events spanning the momentous and tumultuous six-month timeline leading up to and following the 2020 U.S. presidential election.
The collection is fittingly anchored with "Voting Hero" John Lewis and culminates with the 2021 White House Inauguration Day "Celebrating America" fireworks finale. The quirky bright renderings highlight important findings of the "J6" House Select Committee. Portrayals of Joe Biden and Donald Trump, as well as some "Heroes and Zeros" of democracy are included. More recently added, the "Trump Trials" paintings explore the legal woes of the former 45th president.
From the summer of 2020 to the present day, this illustrative book features transformative and original art adding satire, factual information, criticism, commentary, opinions and free speech. The educational visual collection of American's most recent journey strives to enrich and stimulate important discussions related to election integrity, respecting the rule of law, defending democracy and supporting the Constitution.
Come along and enter artist RockwellB's vivid perspective of a pivotal time, as America's story of a republic that is tested unfolds before our eyes.
