The three pictures included on the left are all from the "obscene" collection, which is described in more detail in the newspaper article top right, though I appreciate that the thumbprint is far too small to read it. More here, if you are interested, which you should be if you are interested in art, because where they start by banning paintings they generally end by burning people - that's a slight misquote of Heinrich Heine, but no less valid for being so.
The "more here" link not only tells the whole idiotic story, but also includes much larger copies of the paintings.
My further thoughts on the genius of D.H. Lawrence can be found on March 2nd in "The Book of Days", and on his poem "The Snake" here.
The authentic quote from Heine, and more on the subject, can be found here.
My epitaph-poem for DHL can be found in "Welcome To My World".
