Uncle Sham No. 2 

"Uncle Sham No. 2," a painting by Danny Galieote, depicts a dark, satirical take on American identity. The figure, dressed as Uncle Sam, is a menacing figure with a revolver pointed directly at the viewer. The artist's use of a dark, somber palette adds to the painting's unsettling tone and the presence of money protruding from Uncle Sam's pocket further emphasizes a critique of American values and patriotism. The painting's controversial message invites viewers to confront their own perceptions of the nation's complex past and present.
