A Broken Frame

My version, in some way a reproduction, of the famous photo by Brian Griffin, created for the cover of Depeche Mode's "A Broken Frame" (1982). Griffin cited as inspirations the socialist realism of Soviet Russia, especially the work of Kazimir Malevich, and German Romanticism.
"It was a dark rainy day, but around mid-day the rain stopped and the clouds opened", the author writes about photo.
The photo was also featured on the cover of Life's 1990 edition of "World's Best Photographs 1980–1990".
