0805

Diego Velazquez, along with Goya, is one of my favorite classical painters. they both had a surreal and very stylized idea of what a work of art should be.


This one image, though, is an attempt at art imitating art. It's a recreation of Las Meninas by Velazquez done by Joel-Peter Witkin. And I have to say that this is one of his less disturbing photographs, he loved the macabre and enjoyed tickling our voyeur bone with his morbid images of mostly bondage.
