This was really great to see, and Kenna's work--especially the Japanese 
prints--were fantastic.  The industrial shots, more specifically, the ship & 
the factory pictures, called to mind Eisentein's Potemkin, but don't 
misunderstand me here:  I'm not saying Kenna's work is exactly like or very 
similar to Kenna's.  Just that Kenna's work made me think of Eisentein.

Thanks for posting that Bob W.  I didn't know of Kenna's work, and this was 
a great introduction to it.

Cheers, Christine
