Karl Schmidt-Rottluff: Self-Portrait with Monocle (1910)German painter and printmaker. As an architecture student in Dresden, he helped form Die Brücke in 1905. He soon realized the expressive potential of flat, patterned design; his mature style, seen in Self-Portrait with Monocle (1910), is characterized by boldly dissonant colours and jagged forms. After 1911, when he moved to Berlin, his paintings and woodcuts showed an interest in Cubism and African sculpture. Though his works had become more conventional by the 1930s, the Nazis officially declared them “degenerate.” After World War II he taught art and resumed painting.

புகைப்பதற்கு நிகரான இன்னொரு நடவடிக்கையை மனிதன் கண்டுபிடிக்கவேயில்லை. அது சாத்தியமும் இல்லை.

‘By Gautama’s anger I am rendered testicle-less and his wife Ahalya is also rejected by the sage, and thus by his releasing a severe curse his propriety for ascesis is dwindled, therefore his ascesis is pre-empted by me. Therefore, oh, all gods with the assemblages of sages and caarana-s, it will be apt of you to make me virile again, as I have acted for the benefit of gods.’ Thus Indra spoke to all gods.

Poor de-testicled Indra.
