The Beast (Capitalism) - It is only when one has killed this beast that Real Social Truth comes to light
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "The Beast (Capitalism)" depicts a powerful and thought-provoking image engraved by the talented artist Gabriele Galantara. Originally published in June 1907 as part of L'Assiette au Beurre, this lithograph holds immense historical significance. Intriguingly, the artwork portrays a symbolic representation of capitalism personified as a monstrous beast. With coins scattered around its feet and a dagger piercing its stomach, it symbolizes the exploitative nature of an economic system driven solely by profit. The artist's intention becomes clear: only through dismantling this oppressive force can true social justice be achieved. The imagery evokes strong emotions and prompts reflection on the consequences of unbridled greed and inequality. The fat cat archetype further emphasizes the disparity between those who benefit from capitalism's excesses and those left struggling at its mercy. Displayed within Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London, this engraving serves as a reminder for future generations to question societal norms and strive for change. Its message resonates even today, urging us to challenge established systems that perpetuate injustice. As we contemplate "The Beast (Capitalism)" let us ponder how our actions can contribute towards building a more equitable society where real social truth prevails over materialistic pursuits.
