Going down to Cornwall for a while….
Don’t worry, a neighbour will look after the guinea pig and the fish, and a kindly granny has the mice.
Meanwhile, I leave you with this fascinating piece of artistic history:-
Lenin chucking a Frisbee in the Duma
This is an early trial version of the Russian art of retouching political photographs. The artist has decided to practice his technique using a painting that shows Lenin demonstrating his deadly frisbee skillz.
Photographic manipulation was still very expensive in those days, and so learners in the arts of graphic deception were encouraged to use the cheaper medium of oil paint to practice with.
However, with the passage of time, the strings holding up the frisbee in this picture are becoming more evident, and the artist’s trickery is exposed. It’s so obviously faked.
