One of my favorite albums of all time is U2 - "War".
The album cover, songs and lyrics are beautiful:
Quote:
All is quiet on New Year's Day
A world in white gets underway
I want to be with you
Be with you night and day
Nothing changes on New Year's Day
On New Year's Day
I will be with you again
I will be with you again
Under a blood red sky
A crowd has gathered in black and white
Arms entwined, the chosen few
The newspapers says, says
Say it's true it's true...
And we can break through
Though torn in two
We can be one
I...I will begin again
I...I will begin again
Oh...
Maybe the time is right
Oh...maybe tonight...
I will be with you again
I will be with you again
And so we're told this is the golden age
And gold is the reason for the wars we wage
Though I want to be with you
Be with you night and day
Nothing changes
On New Year's Day

Well, my wife, who is a very talented commercial artist (believe me you have all seen her work), did this oil painting based upon the U2 album cover - as a message of peace to the world...
Sectional close-ups...
The Amnesty International subliminal in this pointillist version was her idea:
This is her post-nuclear war vision:
My wife grew up near Hiroshima...
Peace on Earth...
