Decay and Devastation

I saw this picture in the New Orleans Museum of Art, in the photographic exhibit "Residents and Visitors: Twentieth Century Photographs of Louisiana."  I like the photograph, but it was really the photographer's description of it that struck me as such a saddening truth.  



"The figure symbolizes the worship of destruction; the strange and suicidal religion of war, which is one of the most important and sinister trends of modern society." - Clarence John Laughlin
