Execution

Execution is a Chinese art painting by Beijing artist Yue Minjun.The piece was inspired by the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, though the artist has also mentioned through translation that the art should not depict what happened at Tiananmen square. In 2007 it became the most expensive work sold by a Chinese contemporary artist.
from my vision, there is a key distinction between "Execution" and Francisco de Goya's "The Third of May, 1808: The Execution of the Defenders of Madrid" and Edouard Manet's "The Execution of the Emperor Maximilien of Mexico."

the painting shows a murder, true assassination of a political figure. But here, it's far more potent. Because they're killed by culture. The laughing was a response to unimaginable persecution, like you don't know what the hell else to do. You're nervous. You're not laughing, 'Ha ha hee hee.'" As for the underwear, You're stripped down, you're defenseless. Even worse, you're being shot with cultural forces, not bullets.
