Untitled (Laundry On A Clothesline) - Josef Albers, 1929
From the Guggenheim:

Albers took up photography at the Bauhaus around 1928 and continued working with it until the end of his career. The medium permitted him to isolate particular phenomena—a time of year, an emotional state, a physical condition—which he would in turn extrapolate in his later nonobjective paintings, drawings, and prints. Albers argued that photography is the flattest of all visual arts: because of the monocular mechanics of the camera’s lens, it does not render spatial illusion, making it ideal for certain aesthetic inquiries.
His early photographs reflect traditional Bauhaus concerns with form and materials, particularly with regard to quotidian objects. Untitled (Laundry on Clothesline) captures a moment when soft, lifeless clothing suddenly acquires volume through the otherwise invisible presence of wind.

The game is up: we see through the pyramid schemes of the temples of cultural elitism controlled by the 1%. No longer will we, the artists of the 99%, allow ourselves to be tricked into accepting a corrupt hierarchical system based on false scarcity and propaganda concerning absurd elevation…

Visiteremo infine mondi fisici alternativi, cadendo liberamente verso il centro della terra, o ammazzando il tempo e fermandolo all’ora del tè. Ci porremo domande fondamentali della filosofia, chiedendoci quale sia la differenza tra sogno e realtà, o l’essenza del nulla. Ma, soprattutto, sentiremo un leggero rimpianto per quei tempi, ormai dimenticati, in cui erano i bambini a leggere libri per adulti, e non viceversa.

The man wants to be unhappy in life as much as want To be an happy

…and we hide ourselves , in the last of the melting snow.

‘had a childlike wonder that we could produce such weirdness from ourselves…assumed with the bravado of youth that we’d makie it back to tell of what we saw’
