These images, made just a few years apart, are by two modern artists who understood the power of masks in expressing the conflicts of identity: Frida Kahlo, 1945; and Yasuo Kuniyoshi, 1948

People love to disparage the humanities these days but the more I read about social media the more I think that if tech leaders like Zuckerberg had a bit more training in literature, art history, philosophy, et al., our world would not be in the parlous state it's in right now

@RealSparklePony I wanted to use this one - Big Red Smile (linocut), 1995 - but the resonance of the color red right now argued against it
