TanioNadine VtP: Bien a Verga image analysis

This is an existing art work and cultural commentary that the ethnographer has found and situated with a larger cultural context. It is an image referencing El Borracho but transforming the original drunken character into a grotesque image of three "dick-heads".  The artist has simplified the visual elements however the stance and environment (seemingly against a wall outside a bar with a bottle of alcohol) remain consistent with the original image. As A. Mohammed notes, the changing clothing marks these images as suggesting that alcohol abuse is endemic across social class. Besides the logo tee in the last image, I can not discern the difference in dick-head's changing outfits. Noteably there is a progression of impotency across the image from left to right.
