Hot Lips

A l'heure de l'observatoire: Les amoureux (Observatory Time – The Lovers), Man Ray, 1970

It’s funny what strange tricks one’s mind plays, and the weird associations it makes. This morning I saw a fingerprint smudge on a bathroom door that looked like a pair of lips, and instantly I thought of this wonderful painting by Man Ray: A L'Heure de L'Observatoire – Les Amoureux. Giant lips floating in a sunset sky – of course, why wouldn’t they?
