Welcome to my art history blog. The format is simple and the purpose is to show you a piece of art, give you a little background, and leave the rest up to you. I make my own line of jewelry that can be found at www.youngestdaughter.com. Now I have added a vintage cookbook blog because I like the pictures more than anything else.

"some of his work was deemed obscene"
Oh, trust me. It was.
Just because he shot it in a nice contrasty black and white it did not redeem the subject matter.
Thank goodness for Freedom of Expression in America (except Cincinnati).
Beautiful woman.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
Robert was a genius.
¡Saludos!
