Skeleton

What is the significance of the skeleton in the picture? Johan A. Förberg 23:24, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

I hadn't noticed it until you mentioned it! Obviously, there was markup to the photo, which is common enough as one of the few, by Hans Hoffman, his personal photographer, that showed him practicing. Howard C. Berkowitz 06:11, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
Oh, I see. Perhaps a comment would be helpful? Johan A. Förberg 22:10, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
Sure, although I don't know if it just happens to be in the image I downloaded and isn't in Hoffman's original. While I can't do it just now -- got the electricity back not too long ago after a rather intense but short snowstorm -- I can try to look at other sources.
You have a very good eye, as I simply didn't notice it. My concentration was more on the right side, not the mirror. Howard C. Berkowitz 22:36, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

photomontage

At first I thought it was John Heartfield. (I did a presentation on him and George Grosz in a 2nd year modern theatre class.) It's actually by a Danish artist named Marinus Kjeldgaard (1884-1964)[1] -Derek Hodges 16:17, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

I'm trying to find an unmodified image, and I'm sure I've seen a Hoffman photograph. Nevertheless, I would not object to deleting this, although I think the credit is legitimate. Howard C. Berkowitz 16:21, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
