Welcome! A few years ago, I discovered an application that artists employ in their works to bring cultural awareness to their audiences. Having discerned this semiotic theory that applies to literature, music, art, film, and the media, I have devoted the blog,Theory of Iconic Realism to explore this theory. The link to the publisher of my book is below. If you or your university would like a copy of this book for your library or if you would like to review it for a scholarly journal, please contact the Edwin Mellen Press at the link listed below. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Thank you for visiting. I hope you will find the information insightful. ~ Dr. Jeanne Iris

I have demonstrated or will demonstrate the application of this theory at the following locations:

The 'Garbage Man' and Iconic Realism

 The 'Garbage Man' cometh.

The 'Garbage Man' taketh away!

Congratulations President Donald J. Trump,

45th and 47th President of the United States of America!

How is this photo an example of iconic realism? A duly elected President of the United States of America and those who supported him were labeled 'garbage' by the current President Joe Biden. The garbage man is an iconic figure in that we see garbage men working diligently and collecting trash every week. However, to see the former President (and now President-elect) sitting in the garbage truck with his name on it is an image not expected. This image sets forth a message to those who attempt to insult President Donald Trump and his supporters: It won't work! Common sense will prevail. 

Again, Congratulations President Donald J. Trump. 

May God's Blessings be with you and our country.
