Michael D'Antuono description: “He needs no crowd, no chant, no sign, for basking in the comfort of his luxurious office he rules Main Street and all the other streets in the land.Far above the maddening throngs of angry Occupy Wall Street protesters revolting against the morally bankrupt super rich, sits our captain of finance ensconced in luxury. Untouched by the discontented masses and untouchable by the governments he and his cohorts control, this heartless monument to selfishness is driven by his bottomless pit of greed. Lacking the restraints of conscience, and government intervention, he lives happily void of contrition for the lives ruined by his machinations”

Michael D'Antuono quote: “As Picasso once said, "Art is not meant to decorate rooms. It is an offensive weapon in the defense of the enemy. In my case the enemy is hypocrisy, hate mongering, and lies. Through my art I offer an alternative view of social and political issues to help spark a civil public discourse.
