TITLE: Fall of the old world, Rise of the new world
ARTIST: Jacob Patel
YEAR: 4766
TYPE: Painting
OWNER: Orean Museum of Modern Arts
LOCATION: Orean Museum of Modern Arts
VALUATION: 50.000 LODs

OVERVIEW: The painting represents, as Jacob Patel said, the anarchist philosophy and praxis. In the painting there is a clear separation between two worlds, in one chaos reigns, in the second, it shows the society rebuilding itself. Jacob Patel stated that this work of art represents the tenets of anarchism: In order to build a new better world, we must fight and destroy the old one. The painting took around 2 years to make.

TITLE: At the end of the world: Kregon
ARTIST: Yusef Rose
YEAR: 4865
TYPE: Picture
OWNER: Yusef Rose
LOCATION: Orean
VALUATION: $55000

OVERVIEW: This is a beautiful painting done by Yusef Rose, a prolific socialist figure and intellectual member of LCP, now PSEI. Here he tries to show the beauty hidden in Kregon and the otherworldly mountains. While here the mountains are smaller, it is surprising a road going through a more remote area, a village and close of a gas station. Behind the picture lies an old mineshaft closed over 50 years ago. The day was particularly beautiful and cold, giving the artist that was in visit to a friend. The name of the picture reinforces the idea of a road leading to the end of the World.

TITLE: Hills of Hope
ARTIST: Zoe Waldner
YEAR: 4895
TYPE: Painting
OWNER: Zoe Waldner
LOCATION: Andalwood
VALUATION: 65 000 LODs

OVERVIEW: An impressive art of work done by Zoe Waldner, a prominent Lodamese feminist renown for her writings on women rights and trans rights, alongside her artistic talent in painting and poem writing. This opera was the result of a non-stop work for a week once she visited a small ranch in Golavia. Impressed by the natural places, she had decided to spend a whole week for this painting. While it is partially edited of the real life place, it is considered by many one of the most beautiful contemporary pieces of art in Lodamun around nature. The painting also has a patriotic undertone, part of a wave called Econationalism, showcasing the beauties of Lodamun, enhanced with strong national pride for it.

TITLE: The Grand Azure
ARTIST: Yusef Rose
YEAR: 4897
TYPE: Painting
OWNER: National Museum of Arts
LOCATION: Providence
VALUATION: 100 000 LODs

OVERVIEW: The Grand Azure depicts a real life building located in Providence, Lodamun. Yusef Rose is a well known socialist, that has done other works in the past too, some of them appearing in the halls of Orean. The latest painting is an interesting palette over the Lodamese "Grand" Azure. This painting is released around same period of time when the Presidium put to discussion a bill on establishing Azure as the official government building. Azure is around 200 years old, alongside the Presidumite official building. While some find this painting simplistic, many admire it's simplicity and nuances, giving vibe of legendary times, long forgotten.

TITLE: Death of Endrődi
ARTIST: Izidora Ajna Šolar
YEAR: 4735
TYPE: Painting
OWNER: Szarvas Art Treasury, Inc. (49%), and the Directorial Republic of Endralon (51%)
LOCATION: Szarvas Private Museum and Libraries, Dicsőség Street, III. District, Hugamest, Directorial Republic of Endralon
VALUATION: Inestimable

OVERVIEW: Endrődi Sándor (4697-4734) is the main hero figure for the modern Endralonian people, leaving his remark on the politics of the Directorial Republic since centuries now. As a convinced revolutionary liberal democrat, he led the Revolution of March, 4715 to victory in Hugamest against the anarchic and miserable status of the monarchy of the Kingdom of Endralon following the death of Ottokar XII, and he was the supreme ideologist and philosophical leader of the Republican Federation throughout the entire Second Endralonian Civil War (4715-4734). Ending this incredibly memorable life with embracing martyrdom through being shot and killed during the siege of Újmakon (January, 4734) in the front lines of the battle, he well deserved his name featured in the national motto of Endralon.

His death, that has been labelled as a crucial moment of the Endralonian history, was recreated artistically several times and by several different artists. However the Symbolist painting of the Hugalonese Genocide survivor Izidora Ajna Šolar became the most popular among all others, because how it represents the feelings and ideas of the death of the "great man", instead of actually recreating what happened. While Endrődi was shot by a Monarchist/Fascist (?) sniper when he and a Republican Federation Army regiment tried to enter the Újmakon Castle of the Baron (today the Endralonian-Unionite University) from the open Square of the Baron (today the Endrődi Sándor Platz), the picture only takes over the dying body of the revolutionary, and put it into an entirely different, Symbolist environment.

On Šolar's picture, Endrődi wears a traditional Endralonian suit from the pre-2000s era, with tricolor (red-white-green) ribbons all over it. The painting shows us a mountanious environment, most probably the Vörös Mountains, the Directorial Republic's almost only and largest mountain system, which could represent Endralon herself. The paper and the knife next to the dying body both have own meanings, the philosophy of the directorial system and the fighting spirit, both laying on the ground (on Vörös Mountains ground aka Endralonian ground here), representing that both ideas will be embraced by Endralonians. The Rising Sun stands for the new era (the republic) and the end of the Night (the monarchy), proving that Endrődi's life goal was achieved, while he himself look at the Skies (the afterlife), knowning that he did what he had to on Terra.

TITLE: A witch in the desert
ARTIST: Zoe Waldner
YEAR: 4914
TYPE: Painting
OWNER: National Museum of Arts
LOCATION: Providence
VALUATION: 90 000 LODs

OVERVIEW: A new picture from Lodamun, this time around a witch in an abandoned desert with hills in the background. Zoe Waldner is not a very recognized artistic figure, but working for two years on this opera, it finally announced it and dedicated it to Lodamun, leaving it to the NMA, in Providence to be admired by all. While it is clear that it has link to the rising occultism, it is still not known yet what it depicts much, outside the obvious of a witch performing rituals in the middle of nowhere. Despite this, it is considered to be a very beautiful painting and has an estimated value of 90 k LODs. Zoe Waldner is famous for other related paintings on the occult and Lodamese symbolism.
