A painting in the First Moscow Biennale of Contemporary Art titled Metamorphose. I’m not one for modern art, but I think this picture is a pretty wry take on post-Soviet Russia. What does this picture say to you?

Peter added these pithy words on 28 Jan 05 at 10:35 pm...oh yeah. This is my favorite piece of modern art. A kinetic sculpture that reflects the happenings of a market; the epitome of capitalism. That’s my kind of art!
