  Why is that I 'm so dubious of everything (...) 

      philosophy grown on a doubtful tree

WHAT?


Julio Alan Lepez

WHY?


Andrea Briones,'Kill for Love'

     Dubious sighs 

      of the young for the love that lies in the future, 

      that is hard-edged and too much to bear

WHO?


Vera Rockline, Nude seated with mirror (“Nu assis avec miroir”) 

 Truly beautiful are those who are not afraid to seem ugly.

 The same holds true for poems.  

Jean Metzinger,'Nu à la Coiffeuse'(Nude at Vanity)


Emilian Lăzărescu,'Cochetărie'(Coquetry)

  I was not ladylike, nor was I manly. I was something else altogether. 

       There were so many different ways to be beautiful. 

František Kupka,'The Gallien Girl'


Larisa Aukon,' Rooftops'

—  I will never use makeup as long as I live, 

          and then at the funeral parlor they will put it on me! 

—   Not if you expressly forbid it in your will. 

—   Why should I? Let them: for once in my life I will look pretty.
