Intellectual Pornography

Back home to a serious stack of mail and buried deep within was the latest censored Taschen Catalog. After digging through the various exaggerated body parts with smiling faces over the privates, the following two images struck me as brilliant. John Lennon (of course) By Linda McCartney: Life in Photographs and this image from Ideological dreams, Frédéric Chaubin's stunning photographs of late-era Soviet architecture. The image description reads A cross between architecture and sculpture, the monument to the revival of Armenia by architect R. Israelyan. Aparan, 1979.
