Hey guys, genzedong refugee here reporting for duty! Specifically, the duty of posting my art. Have a good one!

Apparently such things typically have December as slaughtering-of-the-pig? But a boar is so much more Germanically seasonal. I love the decadent flat ultramarines in this -- actually it's cool how little the palette varies from the pigments they clearly used. Ultramarine, yellow ochre, burnt sienna...

Had you thought it was Mucha? It's all right, I had too. Comparing their work side by side, it seems to me that Privat-Livemont has the much more illustrative style -- careful contrasts and shapes -- and Mucha wins out in rendering volume, fleshiness.

I like this work because while obviously inspired by Japonisme of the time, it's not trying to exoticize anything. I also like it because there are shellfish in her hair and that's rad.

The non-local color of the cool tones are really lovely.

The last one is really something.

A few of these skeletons are throwing parties I would like to attend.

I wouldn't have thought the use of foreshortening could have such an affective impact. The fleshy indignity of earthly form -- it's pretty macabre, isn't it?

I'm not sure if this is as beautiful as I think it is right now, or if I'm just tired and my brain is whizzing about my skull and I'm weak for an Yves Klein blue...

I went to the National Gallery in Prague and I'd love to go back after covid. This is the work that just blew me away, but this demonstrates perhaps even better what I mean about Jim Henson, and... it's hard to even find his 2D art because he's more famous for his puppets. Puppets!

I'm a sucker for odd juxtapositions and wow does this deliver.
