What about this painting indicates Communism?
I think the artist was trying to use the red as one indicator, as red is associated with communism. Most of the colors in this painting are black, white or gray, the neutral colors, and there are patches of red within the painting. It is also very drab and drear, which I think is one way many people see what life under communism is like.
What if the artist's view of communism?
Not favorable at all. The artist sees communism as a drab world, where the only thing you have to do it to be watched. The scenery is depressing, while the only to colorful things are red and blue: the red (a symbol of communism_ is on the cracking wall that is falling apart, while there is blue in the iris of the floating eyes which are watching the single person walking down the street.
Explain the title.
The artist feels like this is the perfect world for sommunists: a dreary world where everyone is watched, constantly, and everything is non-colorful. This is, in effect, the idea that this is the world that communists would want.
