Amuse-bouche: The art of protest

30 Jan

Amuse-bouche (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/amuse-bouche): an elegant French phrase literally meaning “to amuse the mouth,” typically describing a small, singular hors d’oeuvre.

Here, the term is appropriated for a little morsel of artistic delight to start the week. Enjoy.

Protests continue internationally, including recently in Pamplona, Spain. A sculpture by August Rodin became an evocative part of the public outcry against austerity measures, bearing a banner that reads, “We are stopped but not quiet.”
