About: The Spear (painting)

An Entity of Type: work, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Spear is a painting by Cape Town-based South African artist Brett Murray. Put on public display in 2012, it depicts the then South African President Jacob Zuma, his genitals revealed, in a standing pose reminiscent of Russian revolutionary Vladimir Lenin. The painting triggered a defamation lawsuit by Zuma's party, the African National Congress (ANC). The ANC's public condemnation of the painting and vandalism upon it brought widespread local and international attention to the painting, where otherwise it may have remained a relatively obscure piece of work.
