The Puppet Masters: Making Fools of Us All describes a series of paintings by American artist David Haughton. It explores the origin of this body of work following the 2016 election, traces art historical antecedents for this form of protest art, and delves into the artist’s personal reasons for creating an extensive four-part series over a span of almost eight years. He seeks to paint the reality of people both in the USA and internationally who are filled with hatred, racism, and discrimination, and the men who control and influence them.
