This is kind of similar to some of Lynda Benglis’s amazing artworks, like «Contraband» (1969, Whitney Museum) #contemporaryart #derivative #visualparaphrasing

Postmodernist architecture may be fine when it is designed with tons of irony, but it can be so harmful if designed seriously. This is an example of the latter #postmodernisminpuertorico #postmodernhaha #moreisabore

Raoul Hausmann: «Mechanical Head (The Sign of the Times)», 1920 The only surviving assemblage made by its author, it seems an uncanny prophecy of the days to come. Seven years later, Fritz Lang directed «Metropolis», haunted by the image of the gynoid #hausmann #metropolis #lang #arthistory
