I noticed my numbers were seriously down so I thought I'd heat things up a tad. Reminds of the old New York radical paper "RAT".
This back in the early 1970's. That faraway era of platform shoes, and massive cocaine exposure. Well these comrades couldn't pay their monthly bills so they printed a 'huge' portrait of a very gleeful naked lady on their front cover.
Their sales went through the roof.
Bills Paid.
Sadly if I posted one of the few nude images of dear Charlie up there this place would be nuked in a Madison Avenue heart-beat. So this is the best I can do.
Except for maybe,... (Donatello is just so handy isn't he.)
Stay Tuned.
Images like that of Charlie and his hirsute pal should be displayed on marquees & bus stops throughout the world: a much-needed cultural tonic.
ReplyDeleteCamille Paglia rightly said that if a modern Donatello made his David today, he'd be arrested for kiddy porn. So would Shakespeare get in trouble for writing Romeo & Juliet, in which Capulet clearly states that his daughter is not yet fourteen. And Mozart, in The Marriage of Figaro, would get in hot water for having created the horny young Cherubino.
Only artists long safely dead are free. In this modern world the pen and brush are as shackled as in many other ages.

I say Fuck'em!
ReplyDeleteI spent my whole artistic life at war with these book burners, and statue smashers. What the fuck are they afraid of. they should all be locked in cells with holographic copies of Caravaggio's "Love Victorious" until they came to their senses or imploded from their own annoying bullshit.
Ahem,...of course I mean all this is a 'nice' way.
