This painting by Russian artist Victor Molev shows a collection of papers (some whole and some torn) in the foreground and a sailing ship in the background.  The papers in the center of the image come together in such a way that they form a hidden portrait of Vladimir Vysotzkiy, a Russian singer-songwriter, poet, and actor.  His song lyrics featured commentary about social and political issues that left an lasting impression on Russian culture long after his death in 1980.
