Description
This thought-provoking canvas print juxtaposes a scene of book burners with a powerful quote by President Eisenhower. The stylized, angry figures represent the dangers of censorship and the suppression of knowledge. Eisenhower’s words urge us to embrace open inquiry and the importance of critical thinking. This piece is a conversation starter, a reminder to challenge authority and fight for intellectual freedom.
The act of burning books reveals the power of knowledge. From the焚書坑儒 (Burning of Books and Burying of Scholars) in ancient China, to the Nazi book burnings in the 1930s, to modern-day attempts at censorship, those who seek to control others fear the ideas and perspectives that books contain.
