All dictators have many things in common. Australian artist Stephen Ives is convinced of this. To illustrate this thought, he even created an original designer Mr. Dicator head, allowing you to assemble any desired dictator from a limited set of parts.
Several years ago we are on the site Culturology. RF talked about the Danish artist Nina Maria, who managed to visually transform her child into the most famous dictators of the twentieth century: Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Benito Mussolini, Mao Tse Tung, Idi Amin, Juan Peron, Saddam Hussein. Thus, she showed that in childhood they were all exactly the same, and, nevertheless, they became the biggest villains of the era.
A similar idea is expressed through his work and Melbourne artist Stephen Ives. But for her illustration, he uses not his own child, but the constructor Mr. Dicator Head, created by himself.
People have long noticed that most dictators of the twentieth century have a huge number of things in common: a mustache, a military style (including a beret), a neat short haircut, etc. It remains only to make a set of all such features, the combination of which can create the appearance of a dictator. Here is the constructor Mr. Dicator Head by Stephen Ives is just such a set.
As a basis for manipulation in the constructor Mr. Dicator Head protrudes a skull with boots. And other details are already attached to it to achieve the result - mustache, hair, cheeks, eyes, hats, eyebrows, accessories, etc.
As a result, each owner of the designer Mr. Dicator Head can assemble his favorite dictator or his own tyrant, who has no prototype in history.

Why precious brooches brought the head of the Cartier jewelry house to the Gestapo: Jeanne Toussaint
The Cartier jewelry house has a symbol - a flexible panther with predatory sparkling eyes. A wild cat studded with precious stones hugged Wallis Simpson's wrist, and now it clenches the fingers of modern fashionistas in its jaws. She dozed, turned into a brooch, and hid, wrapped in an earring. The appearance of the Cartier panther is associated with a woman who was once a lover, but did not become the wife of Louis Cartier, and then headed his jewelry house and led to new heights of success
