Of recent posts, I liked kingcrimson`s choice best, although you have to click on the thumbnail to appreciate the little tooth detail....

This one isn`t exactly a favourite, it was just prompted by a remark from Geekoid in a different thread ;



Here`s an image that is probably burned into the brains of many of us, but that shouldn`t blind us to its subtle charm. It would make a good wallpaper design ;





And lastly one that looks like it already is a wallpaper design :-

I'll reply to this here.

Images of kurt scwitters - Buscar con Google

Is there some kind of conspiracy going on between you guys ?

For some reason, it didn't compute for me that Frownland's avatar contains a Schwitters piece, although I'd seen it before. That Mothers of Invention artwork is like if Kurt suffered a mental breakdown in the 70s, but there's certainly something compelling about it in its creepiness.

It doesn't. Just a Marcel Duchamp piece.

Well, that makes sense! The Google image was from a page on Dadaism. Oops.

^ Yes, and I think it suits a lot of Zappa`s music; provoking the audience into feeling uneasy.

That`s very knowledgeable of you Janszoon. I have to own up to the blunder; I thought that clicking on one page of Google would make me an art expert, but apparently it doesn`t.
