“On the Rights of Molotov Man” was a very interesting read that allowed the reader to experience the varying perspectives of two artists, Joy Garnett and Susan Meiselas. Garnett’s inclusion of the Molotov man as the main piece in his riot painting gallery garnered attention from Susan Meiselas who originally photographed the man in the painting. Soon after the closing of the exhibit, Garnett received a letter asking for credit and a request for a licensing fee of $2000. After giving credit for the source of the picture, Garnett still did not understand why Meiselas kept on pursuing. Meiselas was not only trying to receive credit for her photograph but also wanted to raise awareness of the meaning behind the photo and the misinterpretation of Pablo Arauz as a rioter. It’ s interesting to see how Joy Garnett’s painting led to a whole Joywar movement and how much art can play a role in determining what an image may really mean. In the end, both artists do not hold true meaning because the intention and meaning ultimately lie in the hands of Pablo Arauz.
