I stumbled across dancing Vag1na(s) here:

Which I thought was lovely, but is not very popular with others that I have shared it with.
...Since we're on the subject of women and art.
Well, that's *some* opening sentence!
(And though the kids in my class find birthday horns to be desirable objects, and therefore good for reinforcement, I'm not going to be able to see them in the same light again....!)
My vote, no pun intended?
Thumbs up.
(I teared up at the ending---I'm such a sap!)
I love Du Champ's Nude Descending...; I can't tell you how many conversations of polite debate I've had with certain friends over that painting! It will always remain in its own category, in my opinion: neither cubist nor futurist.
I've never seen Collective Invention before. I like it- it reminds me of some stuff some friends and I used to come up with when playing "exquisite corpse". Hmmm...I wonder how many readers I'd lose if i scanned and posted some of them? Lordy, they think I'm nuts now as it is! :-D
I think I really appreciate just about everything that Du Champ made.
You're absolutely right,this one defies any parameters.
I'm not sure how I would fare in those polite conversations: I've always found futurism to be an "iffy" proposition at best---but I realize it is all in how one looks at things...
I'm a big Magritte fan as well. That particular image is more realistic than most people would know, given his mother's death (again, I love how it's all in the perspective)...
Pel, it would probably be hilarious if you were to invite your readers to play exquisite corpse *with* you---that way everyone can share in the fun(shock) ;-)!
I'll volunteer to play if you do.
