The Recumbency Of Leonard Cohen

The Cohen Recumbency

The Old Ideas album cover showing Leonard Cohen comfortably at ease in his lawn chair (could anyone else perched on a wooden chair on his front lawn in the bright L.A. sunshine while attired in a black suit and fedora be described as “comfortably at ease?”) sparked the realization that those photos of him in a recumbent mode are not only interesting but also peculiarly revealing.

Augmenting that perception with the principle that nothing succeeds like excess – except organized excess – I enlisted a willing Dominique BOILE as co-conspirator to put together the Recumbency Of Leonard Cohen collection, which has been organized into categories and subcategories and is now on exhibition at the DrHGuy site.

While I’ve included a few images from the collection below, there are many, many more, some of which were previously unknown to me at the links below.
