Fish from Thebes

"Spearing Fish, c. 667-647 BC Egypt, Thebes, Late Period, late Dynasty 25 to early Dynasty 26,"
or so says the Cleveland Museum, where this limestone slab is now exhibited, but their elaborate
description is virtually meaningless, except the location (Thebes) where they dug it up, and
their own collection of objets d'art attributed to Dynasties 25-26 isn't really much more
than a hodge-podge of conflicting styles.

Vanity

Ferdinando Scianna - Palermo, 1987

"Without this ridiculous vanity that takes the form
of self-display and is part of everything and everyone,
we would see nothing, and nothing would exist."

Antonio Porchia
