If we get to heaven and meet the Big Bright Light what will it be - the eyes of the saints or the flash of a camera?
Marlene Dumas
Found this picture through this post on chmkoome's Blog. It's a painting by Marlene Dumas, currently on show in the Frith Street Gallery, depicting Ulrike Meinhof after she was found and cut down from the towel noose with which she either killed herself or was murdered (perhaps having been previously raped), in her Stammheim prison cell on May 9, 1976.
And i'm wondering why it saddens me so much.
