« I SAW THE HEAD, AND KNEW IT WAS THE ANTICHRIST AND WE COULDN’T STOP IT, AND NOBODY WOULD HEAR ME. » ON THE OCCASION OF THE INAUGURATION, THE MUSEUM OF EVERYTHING WISHES TO SHARE ONE OF ITS FAVOURITE VISIONARY ARTWORKS: A DREAM PORTRAIT CREATED BY THE LATE AMERICAN ARTIST, MYRTICE WEST. IN THIS UNSETTLING IMAGE, THE MOST MALEVOLENT OF PUDGY-FACED ORANGE-HAIRED MISCHIEF-MAKERS REIGNS SUPREME. HE GRINS AT THE VIEWER WITH A COCKY ABSOLUTE CONFIDENCE. ALL AROUND HIM IS PANDEMONIUM. THE SNAKES, HIS EMISSARIES, SLITHER IN ALL DIRECTIONS, AND TOWARDS THE CAPITOL. THE PAINTING’S TITLE IS: « SATAN TAKES OVER ». MYRTICE WEST WAS AN APPALACHIAN HOUSEWIFE WHO RECEIVED A CALLING TO PAINT THE BOOK OF REVELATIONS AFTER THE BRUTAL MURDER OF HER ONLY DAUGHTER. IN THIS, PERHAPS THE GREATEST OF HER WORKS, THE CENTRAL CHARACTER BEARS MORE THAN ONE SIMILARITY TO THE FORMER POTUS. « THERE’S THE ANTICHRIST OR SATAN ENTERING THE SCHOOL. YOU CAN ALSO SEE THE SNAKES AS THE BEAST OR THE ANTICHRIST GETTING INTO OUR GOVERNMENT, AND THE FLAG AND THE STARS FALLING. OUR GOVERNMENT BECOMES SATANIC AND TURNS TOWARD US AS THE OLD SERPENT, THE DEVIL, THE GREAT DRAGON. » #myrticewest #satantakesover #outsiderart #selftaughtart #visionaryart #christianart #americanart #bookofrevelations #revelations #donaldtrump #realdonaldtrump #trump #thegalleryofeverything #galleryofeverything #gallevery #themuseumofeverything #museumofeverything #musevery OUR GRATITUDE TO ROBERT ROTH, ROLLIN RIGGS AND THE WEST FAMILY.
