Description

The colorful painting entitled “Member of Government” depicts an abstract version of the Spasskaya Tower of the Kremlin. The normally pointed top of the tower droops to one side, with the star upside down, both the color and the shape suggesting a jester’s hat. The bright and comedic colors of the tower in combination with the title’s reference to the tower as a member of government subtly compares court jesters and government workers at the Kremlin in 1990 when the painting was made.
