(Last year I noticed how common / mainstream it became that people are taking photographs of themselves in museums (way more than before and i got already 1000s sent to me or tagged/ elder persons too and without face/ frontal poses like most of mine) so I started to „steal“ those posed ones more frequently (might become a new series at all)

THE VEXED MAN - Franz Xaver Messerschmidt. It you know the work of artists such @gregosart , Samuel Salcedo, Wolfgang Stiller or Gerard Mas for example, you will definitely think that this piece is made by one of them. But ! This sculpture is not a contemporary one (at least our contemporary erea) not even a modern art one. The Vexed Man is one of “the caracter heads” made arround 1770 by Franz Xaver Messerschmidt (German, 1736–1783). You can see this face at the J. Paul getty musuem in L.A (USA).
