    LOVE IT. Some strange sort of take on cubism. Also love how you cut off the head in just the wrong place and just above the knees.

    I think we all suffer from the same bias, although the specifics differ.

    I'm an engineer by training and temperament, with virtually no artistic skill, so I tend to look at the technical aspects of a photo rather than the aesthetics.

    As the old saying goes: "You will find what you seek."

    The first thing I thought of was the little orphan Annie mug - with the picture of Annie , holding a mug ---with a picture of Annie, holding --etc. etc.
    A very interesting image -- and well executed. Thanks for sharing!

    Reminds me of Pink Floyd's Ummagumma album cover.

    I wonder if your post was responsible.

    British artist Lucian Freud, grandson of the inventor of modern psychoanalysis Sigmund Freud, has died in London aged 88, his lawyer said on Thursday.

    The painter was known mostly for his signature nudes and self-portraits such as the powerful 1993 work of Freud as a naked older man waving his brush like a weapon.

    I had never heard of the late Lucian Freud until this thread. Now, after looking at reproductions of some of his work, I'm suprised, because the British should have vociferously pilloried him for his portrait of the queen. Peter Hurd, another artist noted for connections to a famous family, painted a more flattering portrait of President Lyndon Johnson. Johnson's response was, "That's the ugliest thing I ever saw!"

    Perhaps Lucian Freud's intent was to present a visualization of the sitter's psyche rather than appearance. Judging from the results, I hope he failed,
