More of her artworks: HERE
Käthe Kollwitz’ Mother with Two Children
And

Margaret Bourke-White
The Greatest Migration

Sans Titre (Hand-Shell), 1934
Le Pere Ubu, 1936

Nature photographer Warren Krupsaw’s mushroom pix (for gebZ):

Granny Smith

All you need to get a beautifull picture is a camera and a lot of good luck to be there at the right time.
I appreciate this kind if pictures even more then the staged ones.
