Equality (Money) 1902

"Equality (Money)" is a satirical lithograph by Czech artist Frantisek Kupka, created in 1902. The artwork depicts a large, grotesque figure, seemingly bloated with money, dominating a crowd of impoverished figures. The figure is reading from a stone tablet inscribed with "Law in the name of the people," suggesting a mockery of the law's supposed fairness. Kupka's sharp social commentary through this bold and expressive image critiques the inequality and corruption inherent in society.
