for so many reasons, not least the friedrich & the font, this is my most treasured paperback.

well yeah, lol, most of the grunewald i've seen weren't all beastly orgies of violence, but the isenheim alter, for example, has always struck me as very surreal and out of scale and just strange to look at, and there are some drawings of his which i'm struggling to find that i think fit this thread quite well, too.

Yeah, he was the guy who took his dad apart with a potato peeler or something. The style of that picture there ('Crazy Jane') looks like it belongs on the cover of some 80s paperback, but the subject has basically invented Adam Ant 100 years beforehand.

I'm actually in my second ever art history class right now (hooray for working at a university) and I love this thread.
I realize how little i know about the history of art but i love when something jumps out for me and feels very different and more appealing to my modern sensibilities and biases, instead of feeling like yet another portrait or religious work. Not that there's anything wrong with those, and I love hearing the weird secrets and references and history surrounding them. But on a strictly visual and composition basis they don't excite me as much.
Friedrich's Monk By The Sea really felt different for me, as did his Abbey in the Oakwood which is also pretty \m/:http://towerweb.net/alt-lib/art/friedrich/oakwoodabbey2.jpg
I also really love Degas' At the Races in the Countryside:http://www.topofart.com/images/artists/Hilaire_Germain_Edgar_Degas/paintings/degas022.jpg

Incidentally, that painting inspired Grant Morrison to create the superhero called Crazy Jane in Doom Patrol in 1989.

imo u gotta use nauseous in that instance cuz (although ~literally~ correct) nauseated usually nows means something else

those sculptures (or pics thereof...i dunno how it works irl) do kinda induce nausea.....whereas ppl usually say 'nauseated' to describe non-physical sensations that they wanna amplify by invoking physical nausea....but my thoughts only, pls let's not ruin the ~crazy weird old pictures~ w/ further cavilling
― Ectothiorhodospira shaposhnikovii (nakhchivan), Friday, 3 December 2010 09:52 (thirteen years ago) link

'pls let's not ruin the ~crazy weird old pictures~ w/ further cavilling' is to cavilling as 'don't think about eggs' is to thinking about eggs

http://www.mailartworld.com/wp-content/uploads/Toulouse%20Lautrec_2.jpgi always thought this felt like a contemporary painting, although maybe it's a painting that will fit in more 50-100 years from now because of how objective it is toward matters of sex.

OK: let's settle the nauseous/nauseated matter:
nauseousCausing nausea; sickeningnauseatedTo be feeling, or having been caused to feel nausea.http://phrogz.net/nauseous
nauseatedTo be feeling, or having been caused to feel nausea.http://phrogz.net/nauseous
Purists will argue that "nauseous" should not be used to mean "feeling nausea," but I don't see how you can argue against gbx' use of "nauseated."

idk, can we do knorpelgroteske?
http://img.blogster.com/view/akermariano/post-uploads/keller.jpg
Shortlived but kinda fascinating.
Can I quote myself from something which I haven't actually finished yet?
...together forming a sort of musical knorpelgroteske, the 17th century Germanic artform where ornamental foliage intertwines and melts into half-seen faces of animals, monstrously distorted or assimilated into the vegetative surroundings, so that the viewer can never be quite sure what exactly is being portrayed, other than getting an impression of the primal fear, of man, peering into the darkened forest.
