Art 2.0 of the Deal: Donald J. Trump Hits the Wall is the cautionary tale of a self-proclaimed "stable genius" and modern day dystopian anti-hero à la Winston in George Orwell's 1984. The "outsider" President soon proves himself to be unprepared and unfit to deal with a global pandemic that threatens the lives of U.S. citizens.

Produktbeschreibung
Art 2.0 of the Deal: Donald J. Trump Hits the Wall is the cautionary tale of a self-proclaimed "stable genius" and modern day dystopian anti-hero à la Winston in George Orwell's 1984. The "outsider" President soon proves himself to be unprepared and unfit to deal with a global pandemic that threatens the lives of U.S. citizens. More importantly to this incumbent, the "invisible enemy" endangered Trump's campaign and prospects for reelection. This art hysterical tour de farce - a portrait of our time - is a GPS through the Twilight Zone, filled with iconic visual CliffsNotes mile markers to art history, a reality show president, partisan politics, deals, corruption, the coronavirus pandemic, and a New Normal where life and fact are immeasurably stranger than fiction. The award-winning illustrator/author, Cathy Hull, skillfully guides readers through the harrowing twists and hairpin turns of the 2020 political landscape, 45's motivations and machinations, and the resulting unintended consequences. Fasten your seatbelt, it's a bumpy ride! Tired of all the rhetoric, pontification, and analysis? Just kick back and enjoy the artwork. Get the picture? Art 2.0 of the Deal opens with Trump's acquittal following his impeachment where the author's debut book, Art 101 of the Deal: Donald J. Trump Off the Wall left off. It concludes with the ultimate made-for-TV season finale or perhaps series cliffhanger: an uncertain future to be determined by voters in what conspiracy theorists such as POTUS himself call "a rigged election." The inefficiency of the electoral system combined with slow mail delivery during a pandemic are cause for concern; the plot never ceases to thicken. Take a front row seat and view the Trump Show in vivid detail and living color. Be aware - there is no intermission. This president, in effect, called dibs on the election avowing defeat was neither an option nor a possibility. Stay tuned. See what happens.... Meanwhile, Donald Trump and Cathy Hull continue to be the gift that keeps on giving. Laughter is infectious. Pass it on.

Autorenporträt
Author/illustrator Cathy Hull has always viewed and depicted the world, politics, and current events through the lens of art history. Decades before the stimulating creative art challenges, the pandemic, lockdowns, Zoom calls, and virtual happy hours; the artist -- inspired by the masters -- began juxtaposing incongruous icons and symbols in familiar settings to convey striking comparisons. We might have progressed from cave drawings to emojis, but images -- universal and constant across human history - still do more than just literally represent an idea. Creatives are no strangers to self-isolation -- most are now doing what they have always done -- working remotely from home. Happily, the internet has made it easier than ever before to relate to and connect with others within this strange, shared but disparate reality -- leading to many a-ha moments. A global pandemic and a president that has usurped the world stage demand political visual commentary and analysis. COVID-19 revealed tragic flaws in Trump's character and psychology exposing a self-serving "winning" alt-fact parallel universe. Gaslight. "If I could say it in words, there would be no reason to paint." --EDWARD HOPPER ...... "Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't after you." --JOSEPH HELLER
