Story / Additional InfoThis political cartoon "Just Friends" depicts Barack Obama and Donald Trump, often seen as leaders of the Democratic and Republican parties. Both figures inspire intense loyalty and admiration from their supporters, who view them as larger-than-life, even "messianic" figures shaping America's future. At the same time, their opponents often vilify them in extreme terms, reflecting the deep polarization in American politics. What stands out in this artwork is the emotional connection between the two men, whose body language conveys joy, mutual respect, and admiration. The cartoon aims to encourage people across the political spectrum to recognize each other’s humanity, fostering dialogue and bridging the divisions that currently fracture the nation.

Charles Sherman - United States

Art Brokerage: Charles Sherman American Artist: b. 1947. Charles Sherman is an American artist best known for his continuum sculptures, especially the three-dimensional Möbius, or infinity ring, a form first visualized by the 19th century German mathematician and astronomer, A. F. Möbius. The enigmatic infinity ring has no beginning and no end; the bottom side becomes the topside, and the inside becomes the outside. Sherman's infinity ring sculptures are mysterious, their curving forms an expression of absolute beauty. His award-winning work has been exhibited widely in the United States and Asia, and is included in museum collections. Sherman has interpreted the infinity ring form in diverse materials, including bronze, ceramic, glass mosaic, aluminum, Lucite and stainless steel. His many sculptural variations reflect Sherman's study of ancient civilizations, religions and cultures from around the world, and sacred geometry. Paralleling ancient Feng Shui principles, the never-ending circular nature of Sherman's infinity ring sculptures promote infinite love, healing, abundance, harmony and serenity.
