More on art as torture
Mr Josephzohn kindly told me about this short documentary (obsolete link) about the mysterious Frenchman Alfonso Laurencic who put his art as torture theories in practice during the Spanish civil war. You can read about that here. The documentary shown in Swedish TV on the culture show Kobra is mainly in Swedish but some in English and some in Spanish. You have to press the link Surrealistfängelset - The Surrealist Prison.
Thanks Mr Josephzohn

Art can be bad, sure. But literally torture?
"Madrid - It was torture with a creative flair - build tiny cells that kept prisoners from sleeping, sitting or pacing, and decorate the walls with mind-bending art.
These chambers operated during the Spanish Civil War of 1936-39, and were the work of communists fighting for the government side as it battled troops under fascist General Francisco Franco. Their existence is a bizarre, little-known footnote to the conflict, and is now the focus of historians and artists."

Thanks to Ragnar Satzer!

Caped Crusaders

Spanska filmaffischer från 70-talet
afiches - a photoset on Flickr har bloggats av alla tycks det. Så det är väl bäst att jag gör det också.
Spanska filmaffischer från 70-talet helt enkelt. Mest från någon typ av porrfilm men även skräck.
Om Ingmars dotter Anna Bergman här och här. Hade hoppats kunna ta reda på vad hon gör idag. Är det någon som vet? (Bild här)
Jag såg den först på Bedazzled!
