Mixed Media - Collage Appropriated Vintage Images
Description
Hand-cut collage of appropriated vintage images.
Victorious after WWII America saw itself as the model for the world and American dreams were to become global ones.
With the conviction of a car salesman selling a “wouldn’t you really rather have a Cadillac” we were convinced that America was the standard by which the world's other countries were to be judged.
That the superpower with the super weapon might become a supermarket dispensing goods to the whole world seemed our birthright
In competition with the Soviets for the hearts and minds of the third world, we sold the American Way as heavily as coca cola. Political and business establishments together manufactured an American consensus and sold it as the American way. Our industries were the symbol of our strength and spoke of the wisdom of our ways
Uncle Sam would meet our obligations to the free world spreading democracy and offering a helping hand to people around the globe a Coke in every refrigerator and a Chevy in every garage.
At the same time, American exceptionalism continues to be sold to the public with can-do optimism, as we see still see ourselves as a model for the world.
