GEM: DIVAS AND LOVERS




Divas and Lovers is a collection of the erotic art of Studio Manasse, a husband and wife team (Adorja'n von Wlassics and Olga Solarics) that photographed film stars in the 20s and 30s. Wlassics and Solarics' mastery of montage puts modern day Photoshop to shame - there's no way a nude women getting eaten by a giant crystal mouth could be executed that well on a computer. The photos are weird and fantastical, and best of all they portray strong, sassy women who might decapitate you with a machete if they were so inclined.
