La liberté guidant le peuple - Delacroix.

I don’t know why I love it so much. Probably because it embodies something that we love, that we like to cherish, something we miss without missing it too much either. A past that we’ll never happen again.

Or maybe I just associate it with the old 100 francs bill (the Cézanne one never existed, ok?). And when I was young, owning one of this made me feel rich, very rich.

As for the sentence : “Art throughout Western history has been a way to promote ideological and political messages”
