A Mighty Blow for Freedom - F*** the Media by Michael Sandle

A Mighty Blow for Freedom - F*** the Media by Michael Sandle; painted Bronze 220 x 300 x 130 cm; 1988.

From the Art Fund website:

It depicts a powerful helmeted, androgynous figure, full of movement, using a cudgel to smash a television. Sandle explained: it's the power to manipulate opinion and distort the truth that I hate so much about the media and in particular television advertising.

From www.sculpture.org.uk:
Themes of war, death, destruction, inhumanity and media manipulation are constant in his work, which Sandle describes as the heroic decadence of capitalism, in particular its appetite for global conflict. He also frequently condemns the media for packaging and sanitising the destructiveness of war.

Location: Central Milton Keynes, by the open-air market. Photo taken 2016
