Aiming Below The Belt. Artistically!

[wizzard890]

+Finals are done. So is my sanity, I think, but that is not news. I don't know how I did. Frankly, I don't really care. These were, without a doubt, the two worst and most stressful academic weeks of my life. Thank you for bearing with me, especially you folks who had to watch me self-flagellate on Twitter. Life has been a bit of a roller-coaster,

Oh. Oh shit.

I...can really not even describe how profoundly disturbing that image is.

Perfect.

Oooh, where to start? Thinking about this really kinda sparked me.

As far as truly unsettling in a creepy, not-nice-feeling way goes, I have to second De Goya. Hard.

Also, Bosch:

Aaaaah I love the Winged Victory. We had two hours (only two) in the Louvre when I got to go, and I probably spent twenty minutes in front of this. So gorgeous.

I saw the Bosch piece in an art book when I was little, too! My mom had a huge, full-color coffee table book of art from different movements throughout history, I poured over it when I was young. I should ask her if she still has it, it got so dog-eared and she got sick of my brother laughing at the nudes. What are the chances we looked at the same book?...

Ooh, this one came up in my class

I saw her as looking bored, but I like your interpretation better since judging by the mirror the man in the hat could be the (...male) viewer-- in which case it's /us/ giving the pretty bartender a hard time. Huh, I've never seen a painting that did that to me before.

Oh wow, I don't think I ever put myself as the viewer in his position. This does put a spin on things...
