1 year agoSuper cool! I wish they would explain how they realized it was popcorn specifically though. Not that I doubt their conclusion, I am just curious. To me, that picture looks like, well, weed, but also like normal corn-on-the-cob. Is popcorn-on-the-cob a thing?
Wow, thank you for the history lesson! I had no idea of the surrounding context of the artist and politics at the time. This has always been one of my favorite paintings.
