After all those useless lectures by university Marxists at the University of Marx, I now finally understand the vanguard of the proletariat, the Marxist prick. This is why PicASSo’s drawing makes Stalin look the dickhead?
A figleaf by Rodchenko out of the question, can we make his dick into a Kleshnikov? The thought, though, of the Pic obssessing over another man’s dick, thinly veiled under socialist propaganda, lends new insight to the heteronormativity usually associated w/ Picasso. Now, is his homoerotixxx innately determined or socially constructed? No help from Karl as his family unit never entertained homosexuality, afterall, who ever heard of gay revolutionaries? Who knows maybe the tanks would have come in designer colors? The sketch has problems anyway, w/ the change in facial hair not being matched in the hair line and the eyes don’t coordinate well. Cezannian leftovers, perhaps. Good to see the skilled having mediocre moments, but I digress.

Apparently, too, it was only a contemplated project and not a realized one.

“Pablo Picasso On Stalin’s Cock” pretty much says it all in a porny way. All I know is Picasso worked for an anarchist’s newspaper in pre-Paris days, what he did I’m guessing was draw caricature’s, something I think he never lost doing, especially to women. The mainstream view is that he surrendered the uber-zeitgeist of anarchy for Marxism, less on political lines than on the fact the commies were the only one’s who stayed in Paris and fought the nazi’s. Does everyone buy that? Eventually the brutal Stalin pin pricked Picasso’s erection for Communism w/ his pact w/ the Nazi’s, as it deflated America’s burgeoning socialism as well. I think we Americans still live in a default capitalism as a result. Interesting though, I’m guessing the Picasso shows over the years have erased the pink fringes, just as Warhol’s gayness has been downplayed. I personally would die under communist rule or anything laid down by yet another German w/ visions of world order. Maybe it’s the repression that has given chinese art such a focus lately. Did Warhol ever do Stalin?
