Democracy is liberty & freedom, just enough to take pictures of life, just enought to paint on a wall, isn't it ?

When I see this street tag representing "Liberty leading the people" by French painter Eugene Delacroix in a place of Paris, I see a woman personifying Liberty : our democracy in France.
But I am sure the Americans don't forget our gift, symbol of their democracy : Statue of Liberty.

Indeed, do you know that Statue of Liberty was based on Delacroix's painting ?

Oh, just one more thing, the United States decided to give her more clothes...

Funny... So, where is the liberty of art ?
