Capitalistic Rene Magritte's shaving industry: Milan Kohout [74]



This poster situation is called:

"Capitalistic Rene Magritte's shaving industry" .

It is about that stupid requirement by capitalistic societies to shave the body while we are not supposed to show it.

And of course also about the picture being just a reflection of a reality, not reality.

It is not a vagina - it is a picture of a vagina.
