quote:George Grosz's Explosion transports the horrors of World War I home, to Berlin. With a fiery glow in the background, collapsing high-rise buildings pinwheel around a black vortex. Windows shatter and smoke pours into the nighttime sky. Slices of half-naked body parts, embracing couples, and shadowy faces appear amid the chaos brought about by man-made, not natural, disaster. Grosz welcomed the purge of old society in this and other paintings showing cities in the throes of destruction that he made after he was discharged from the German army, in spring 1917, as "permanently unfit." Ah, how very CSPAM

exmarx posted:ww1 had such a direct impact on culture, it's crazy Dulce et Decorum Est BY WILFRED OWEN Bent double, like old beggars under sacks, Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge, Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs, And towards our distant rest began to trudge. Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots, But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind; Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots Of gas-shells dropping softly behind. Gas! GAS! Quick, boys!—An ecstasy of fumbling Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time, But someone still was yelling out and stumbling And flound’ring like a man in fire or lime.— Dim through the misty panes and thick green light, As under a green sea, I saw him drowning. In all my dreams before my helpless sight, He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning. If in some smothering dreams, you too could pace Behind the wagon that we flung him in, And watch the white eyes writhing in his face, His hanging face, like a devil’s sick of sin; If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs, Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,— My friend, you would not tell with such high zest To children ardent for some desperate glory, The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est Pro patria mori.

The Wilton Diptych. For when it was created and how it survived, it's breathtakingly pretty, and as far as works of astonishing hubris go I really don't think anybody had a higher opinion of themselves than Richard II, and while future monarchs certainly tried, having himself painted while he was 30 to be the boy king of his dreams being praised by all the saints of England and all the best heaven has to offer even going so far as to adorn the angels with the white hart adds a powerful repulsiveness to it which is a dichotomy I don't feel much in art.

Portrait of James I of England wearing the jewel called the Three Brothers in his hat by John de Critz (1605) This awfully-named portrait has always been my absolute favorite of any monarch. James I/VI was more or less an unstoppable libertine with how much he liked his hot men and whoever was responsible for dressing him up for this one really hit it out of the park. I was fascinated by the Three Brothers as a child because I loved lost treasure, even though his daughter in law almost certainly ended up pawning it, and him just jaunting around with it on the most fabulous hat ever conceived is probably the closest I will get to being a monarchist.

Carlos II, Anonymous (c.1695) It's not the most famous of him since people who could flatter Hapsburgs were by definition going to be more prominent but this particular picture of el hechizado always stuck with me more. It seems more sad and honest. It's pretty intense to think about just how hosed up and on a precipice Spain was at the time, they had nowhere to go but down with their imperial ambitions and were just one inbred king's bad day away from Louis next door having a field day. All the pictures of him radiate some real end of days bleakness and make it fairly easy to see why people could view this sort of rule as divine punishment.

He was less a monarch and more a victim of his incredibly powerful and hosed-up family. It's really easy to forget that monarchy as an idea has some horrendous victims at every stratosphere of power, up to the top. I'm really not sure how to interpret most of the stories I read about anything personal regarding Carlos II, Henry VI, Isabel II and the like as anything but deeply tragic to them personally regardless of what the people who functionally owned them did with the power that originated from their royalty.

However, as I've been more monarchist than I would normally like lately: Une exécution capitale, place de la Révolution by Pierre-Antoine Demachy (1793) What I really dig about it, other than the huge gelcap on the left and the dog, is the washed outness of it. The sky is so huge, but so pale, and really manages to provide a lot of contrast with how busy the rest is, and helps notice the details such as the aforementioned dog and is a good statement showing a truly awful monarch getting what he had coming, while still being no more than any of the other men there. The overall paleness really makes it feel dream-like, which is probably a feeling a lot of the French had at the time to contrast with the crazy reality.

Monet is why I can remember what impressionism means because I am very dumb about art, but his artistic need and instinct are what prove to me I can't be an artist as I have neither the intensity nor the willpower: "I one day found myself looking at my beloved wife's dead face and just systematically noting the colours according to an automatic reflex." The colors in this one are very un-Monet especially if you're mostly used to his landscapes and plants which are very cool but it's hard to look at. Camille Monet on Her Deathbed, Monet (1879)

 I'm not sure how popular Charley Harper is outside of Cincinnati but his work is everywhere there. there was a house near where i grew up that had a Charley Harper garage door but i think it's long gone at this point.
