The Greedy Bookworm: Winston Smith's Montage Art

In this post, I'm going to show some of montage artworks of Winston Simith. These pieces were downloaded from his website www.winstonsmith.com. In this website, there are a lot of montages which are arranged into various categories based on their topics. These following ones are my favourite pieces.

The first one was entitled "Strange Bedfellows". In this montage, an elephant and a donkey are sleeping on the same bed which is full of money, and their back are faced against each other. As the elephant and the donkey are the symbol of the Republican Party and the Democratic Party - the two most powerful political parties in the United States, this picture made me think that Winston Smith was trying to draw the political background of the United States, politicians just try to compete to each other to protect and increase their own benefits.

The second piece is also interesting. The author has modified the Mona Lisa picture into a woman dressing like a rocker in the 1970s. This picture reflects the movement of youths in that period.
And the last montage is a quite familiar picture. It is the picture of the Jesus Christ dying on the crosswooden structure. However, the name of this piece is "In God We Trust" which is the motto of the United States. Moreover, the Cross was also combined from the US dollars. I don't quite understand what does piece mean but in his website, Winston Smith said that this montage is the art for dead Kennedys.
