"Mise en abyme" idea in its fullness: smaller and smaller and smaller, one inside another, inside another...
Oh my God, you are RIGHT! I never thought about that! It all makes perfect sense!
Charade I am wrote:I think they are unique. they don?t have to look exactly like them. It?s craftsmanship
I think you mean "artistic license," which gives the artist free reign to do what he/she desires. Craftsmanship would be how well the actual object is put together.[/quote]
Well, yeah, but couldn?t those objects be consider as craftsmanship? Specially if they are made by hand?
I got that exact thing for Christmas! I didn't get it for Christmas, exactly, since it was on back order. It came in around New Year's Day (my birthday) so that made it a great Christmas/birthday gift. I like it as the wooden 'dolls' were hand-painted and crafted to fit inside another. When I first opened it, the smell of paint and lacquer hit me as if they were just painted. The dolls were wrapped in Russian newspapers. lol My Mom (also a fan) thought the artist must have been a pro-David Gilmour advocate as his doll was bigger than Roger, especially as the dolls were painted to reflect what they looked like during the "Ummagumma" era.

See, if it were a bunch of nesting pyramids, each a different color of the prism from DSOTM, that would be cool. I guess I'm much more into the abstract, and once you start putting people's faces on it, it becomes gimmicky. I think PF realized this themselves as well, which is why there are so few albums with their faces on the covers.

Awesome! I can imagine those pyramids in my bookshelf or table... I hope Storm will design them quickly so I can buy...

If my guess about interpretation of the "Ummagumma" cover is right , it simply has to be in that order - David was in the centre of the first photo, and Roger was much smaller, in the second one...

WHAT!!!! You mean it's not another Gilmour conspiracy to assert superiority of Waters?????
Probably... You know, I am not much into conspiracy theories, but it is very possible...
