712th Show & Tell Competition: Art

[kasperbergholt]

In 1917, literary theorist Viktor Shklovsky wrote:

"And art exists that one may recover the sensation of life; it exists to make one feel things, to make the stone stony. The purpose of art is to impart the sensation of things as they are perceived
and not as they are known. The technique of art is to make objects "unfamiliar," to make forms difficult, to increase the difficulty and length of perception because the process of perception is an aesthetic end in itself and must be prolonged. Art is a way of experiencing the artfulness of an object: the object is not important..." ('Art As Tecnique', 1917).

In this 712th Show & Tell competition all things related to art (in its broadest sense) are welcome.
