Did you get the memo? Irony is over.
And besides, this is Valentine’s Day.
So, let me un-ironically direct you to the world’s most beautiful website, showing the work of Vienna photographer Linda Kim Davies. Her specialty is sepia-photographs of the beautiful Viennese “caryatids–architectural columns that look like classically draped or undraped women.
Okay, I hear you saying, “Who wants to look at beautiful women’s breasts?” But the musical background is hypnotically lovely, a loop of Phillip Glass piano music, (and IMO Phillip Glass was born to write looped Flash music) probably played by Linda’s husband, conductor Dennis Russell Davies.
So get over there–click on “Images” or “Invocation”. Click on “Essays,” and you can download Diane Shooman’s scholarly essay on caryatids, “Sex with the City.” And have a great day.
