1. frenchtwist: via nevver: Frida Kahlo, The Wounded Deer (The Little Deer), 1946 This is the image that taught me about censorship. When I was in elementary school a “concerned parent” stole this and a few other laminated Frida Kahlo images off of a portable art education board, because they felt it was too disturbing for children. I was probably only 9 or 10 at the time, but Frida was already one of my favorite artists, and I was really pissed off!

  5. aureliomadrid: Kath. Pfarrkirche St. Moritz Augsburg Georg Petel (1601–1635) Hl. Sebastian from edgarhohl I like this because instead of looking serenely at heaven like he does in many depictions, Sebastian is looking down like, “Oh dang, I am full of arrows.”
