    some saddam pics:



    ^--- it seems you can actually buy a poster of that one... if you want



    this (below) is a rather crummy 'recreation' of one of the saddam murals by some american guy who made recreations of various of the destroyed murals, complaining that their loss was 'like the talaban destroying the buddahs' (!). Interesting imagery although not great painting, unfortunately I couldn't find a picture of the original.





    intresting little gallery of art Saddam had:
    link
    too small, but it seems Saddam was a fan of kitsch fantasy art- how revealing - critics often called totalitarian art esp. russian as 'kitsch'.
    a larger pic of one of them:

    this was another - apparantly

    there are more of chosonhwa, but what i can say is that the style and settings are one-to-one with Soviet social realism ;-)

    The totalitarian art of our own era seems to rely on childlike naïvete to transmit its brutalist message:
