I've seen this before! It's some woman who thinks it's art and dresses her child up as like, great dictators, I think I've seen Hitler as well as Mussolini! Crazy.
Christ, I'd slap my mother just for naming me 'Faustina'. That's taking Goethe appreciation to a whole new level of BAD. Then, dictator dress-ups without my consent? O_O
Art and history at the same time. I think I can understand what she is getting at, and I don't think the bub cares what she is photographed in. I think it is our ideas that are being questioned and we don't like it. Is it any worse than those hundreds of baby photos where the poor kid is dressed up as some cuddly animal or other??? lol
Actually, in this case there is a point to dressing the poor little vegemite up. You might want to look back at the picture of Himmler we had in an earlire blog.
Ah, I see what you mean there. In cases such as this, I'm generally so overwhelmed by the bizarreness of such art that I completely disregard its subject matter.
That's actually a really interesting point made there. No one would ever expect those children to turn out the way they did, and even when a child is presented to us in the panoply of the notorious dictators of history, the usual negative views we associate with those leaders are completely subdued by the mere fact that the model is an infant/child. That just made me sit and think about a whole bunch of questions regarding children and inherent 'evil'. <.< >.>
Its a girl?!
ReplyDeleteWow..that is kinda scary.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, the poor child. Lol!

There's another reason I'll never have kids.
LOL. I just realised that little-baby-girl Stalin was the only one wearing some sort of footwear. Lo-and-behold: valenki.
ReplyDeleteSome people might not understand the humor there...I think I've just spoken to too many Russian net-friends.
