A Quiz for the Eye
The rules are simple: someone posts the depiction of a work of art (painting, sculpture, pottery, architecture, etc.), and a question others have to answer to, in order to take their turn.
To stick to the group's theme (A TRICK OF THE EYE), the work must have an aesthetic component to it. I know this is very subjective, so use common sense here and try to avoid readymades, shock art and meta-art if possible.
Searching the internet is OK, and even encouraged. The idea here is to have you to look for and discover new stuff.
Let's start with this:
You have to guess the author and the title.

Not Lipchitz, although they're contemporaries, and certainly knew each other's work.

No idea.
Except it reminds me of a shot of Sarah Palin where she's wrapped into an American flag.
Time for a hint? -

HAHA....
He's a contemporary (very active) artist whose art is simultaneously rough and delicate and exposes sentimental and vulnerable humanity through violent gestures, provocative irony and messy compositions that defy traditional aesthetic boundaries. This work was on display last year in Berlin but he is not German. His studio is in Barcelona. -

Great. I'm only 2 hours away from Barcelona. I don't know how many hours it'll take to visit every artist's studio here (it's a rather big city), I hope next weekend will be enough if I hurry ;-)

Just zig and zag......I know this one is tough...I have to apologize, I've just gone back to work and can't check personal email very often. You guys were really throwing out some hard ones.
This is a quote from the artist's statement...."My art work could hang in the British Museum or in a toilet, I just don’ t care.“ He had a solo show May 19, 2009 AT ROJO BARCELONA....
Funny I lived just outside of Paris for about a year but I've been in the states Georgia for a while and can't get far enough into the back woods...love my hills and trees. -

Pope's 'exorcism' caught on film video

There is a video of the Pope's 'exorcism' caught on film. The man isn't demon possessed, there are likely no 'real' demons. He's just delusional and doesn't want to accept personal responsiblity for his own behavior for his own dysfunctional life.

There is an ad that reads ' Do you support 'traditional' marriage? Vote Now"! .
No, I don't support 'traditional' marriage because there is no such thing. I support heterosexual and same-sex couples marry each other legally , yes. 'Traditional' marriage promoters largely do not believe that heterosexual women are co-equal to their husbands. Their only purpose in 'traditional' marriage is to sexually satisfy their husbands if they can and raise children and do all…

i've got no problem with everyone saying "merry christmas" on christmas day. however, they've turned it into an entire holiday season where it lasts a month or more. in those situations it should be perfectly acceptable to say "happy holidays" or call it a…

My first funeral as an atheist

I posted the bulk of this on another thread, but wanted to add some context separately.
I finally confronted my faith and embraced the fact of my atheism late last August, 2012. Days after I revealed my "epiphany" to a few friends who knew me from another message board, my sister died from Lou Gehrig's Disease (which pissed her off because she hated catching a disease from someone she never f---ed).
THAT was my sister, understand? She was a beautiful, life-loving, potty-mouthed…
