I arrived at this amazing set of photos while researching the history of the Ku Klux Klan in my city. Turns out the ladies’ auxiliary of the KKK was called “Ladies of the Invisible Empire,” or LOTIE for short. Amazing, and shitty that they ruined a perfectly awesome band name for their ridiculous cause. With a name like that, I had to see what came up when i googled it, and this is one of the sites I found. This, like “Guernica,” is yet another of those cases where it might be actually ARTISTICALLY interesting to know the history of a certain combination of words used in the title of the work… if you’re turned on by geeky stuff like i am

These look very much inspired by the Polish painter Beksinski (60′s-70′s work), as well as some polish poster designers (I think I’m thinking of Wiktor Sadowski). Somewhere in a book I have a few paintings of faceless nazi’s and also of faces covered in bandages with helmets.

All image-stereotypes and symbolisms aside, I’d love to run around in these threads, just completely covered. Very nice, thank you.

Any opinion I might have has already been expressed here by other readers. Point being, I love the images in one way or another. I have also always harbored a love of WWII European uniforms. They’re just so elegant, regardless of what is done IN them. So its interesting to see a woman incorporated into a normally all male concept.
Wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
