Here Comes Johnny With His Pecker In His Hand

Here’s an old painting of an even older sort of transaction:

The image comes from here, with the breathless caption: “A 19th century painting crudely depicts the power of wealth and dominion.” Me, I see more dominion in that outstretched palm than I do in the guy with his pecker out.

2013 Update: fixed the broken link and upsized the tiny art that was here.

My Kind of Organ Music!

Okay, I read through the article explaining the inspiration behind this artwork several times, and I still don’t get it….but the images are nice!

This is a palette for a baby grand (and baby, ain’t it grand! :laugh: ) penis piano, a work in progress by Cynthia Karella. It sounds like it’s supposed to address fear of the penis:

Why do we find such a lack of aesthetic qualities of the penis? The penis’s refusal to submit to conventions of uniformity, this is why a climate of fear surrounds it. Karalla attempts to dissipate the fear we have which is not innate, but one that has been manufactured and put into us, a system of control.

:confused: Penis fear? [Paging Dr. Freud….paging Dr. Freud….] A lack of aesthetic qualities? Doesn’t sound like any of our friends. But, the article is apparently translated from Italian, so it might not be too accurate. From the Baby Grand Piano page, where you can also find more smallish but interesting penis photos.
