Albín Brunovský | LURKER. Albín Brunovský was a Slovak artist that passed away back in 1997. Brunovský served as a student, lecturer and then professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bratislava for the majority of his adult life. The school was largely influenced by Francisco Goya’s graphic sequences ‘The Disasters of War’ whose macabre, disturbing work would remain unseen by the public eye until years after his death. Brunovský’s palate including designs for over one hundred book covers and the last series of Checkoslovak banknotes. His work straddles the line between grandiose, surreal absurdism and an undeniable appreciation for nature. Hard to deny the ineffable nature of Albín Brunovský, whose work has appeared in manifold children’s books (what an awe-inspiring gift to give to your offspring!).
I am surprised by how infrequently this master harmoniser of the sublime and chaotic has appeared in the musical works that this site so often caters towards.

From 1920 to 1925 he studied at the Berlin academy and was admitted to the Berliner Sezession as its youngest member and to the "Preußische Akademie der Künste" lead by Max Liebermann.

Russian-born Vania Zouravliov was inspired from an early age by influences as diverse as The Bible, Dante’s Divine Comedy, early Disney animation and North American Indians.
Something of a child prodigy in his homeland, he was championed by many influential classical musicians including Ashkenazi, Spivakov and Menuhin. He even had television programs made about him and was introduced to famous communist artists, godfathers of social realism, who told him that his work was from the Devil. By the age of 13, Vania Zouravliov was exhibiting internationally, visited Canterbury several times as well as Paris, Colmar and Berlin. He subsequently studied in the UK, and during this time began creating illustrations for The Scotsman and comics for Fantagraphics and Dark Horse in the US. His most recent projects have been for Beck's The Information and National Geographic. Go to Vania Zouravliov portfolio: Rozi Demant. Mikael bourgouin. Actualité.

Alejandro Jodorowsky is one of my favorite artists of all time. One reason why I love this guy’s work so much is that he does it all: writer, director, actor, mime, magician, comic book author, tarot card expert.
He’s completely brilliant and hilarious, and both of those traits are present in his films – which I highly recommend despite the fact that Jodo certainly isn’t for everybody. Readers of this blog are no doubt familiar with Jodorowsky’s Western cum vision quest El Topo, but, for me, the director reaches his cinematic summit – so far – at the top of The Holy Mountain. Without question one of the most bizarre and visually stunning films anyone will ever see, critics who dismiss the plot as a mish-mash of New Age flotsam can be forgiven for not recognizing the gold Jodorowsky hid in the excrement. Check out one of The Holy Mountain’s most famous scenes (NSFW): Watch the documentary The Jodorowsky Constellation in its entirety on Joe Nolan’s Insomnia. Stay Awake! 0Share 16Share. The Flowering Ladies of Casseri and Spieghal |
Of the illustrations I’ve come across, the flowering pregnant ladies of Casseri and Spieghel are some of my favorites. Giulio Cesare Casseri was a mid- to late- sixteenth century artist and anatomist. He died in 1616 with a great deal of unpublished work, which was noticed and picked up by student Adriaan van den Spieghal, a writer and scholar of medicine and botany. He wrote books on anatomy, particularly fetal development, but these too remained unpublished as of his death in 1625.
A student of Spieghal’s conjoined and published the work of these two men as De humani corporis fabrica libri decem in 1627, as Spieghal had planned to name it. The plates of Casseri and Spieghal contain familiar tropes of anatomical works of their time. An intricate landscape skirts the bottom of the illustrations, placing the figures in particular settings. References: Rifkin, Benjamin.

The money that could be extracted from the corpulent matron by an experienced corsetiere would certainly provide for the family holiday. In the section on corsetieres, the subtle, and lucrative art of persuading the woman desperate for an improved figure to part with her husband's money is described in detail.
Times have changed. The comments above about "the husband's money" are neither chauvinistic nor untrue. Berlei (above left), Spencer (1934; centre) and Gossard (1920; above right) realised that corsets styled for the stout figure would fit better than a standard cut. Yes indeed. From stoutness we move to obesity. The photograph on the left is obviously a composite. Spirella in the 1930's, 1960's, Mrs R. of the November 1962 Spirella magazine and B. in 2005. And why, oh why does the stout matron believe that cladding oneself in rubber will have any effect at all? Cartoons on the subject of corsetry have appeared in many places. Herbert pfostl's paper graveyard. Farting Japanese 'He-gassen' paintings have political meaning 200 years ago - What's On Tianjin. Micha Lobi. MichaLobi (1967, Siberia) lives and works in Russia. In his work, Lobi focuses mainly on the unusual and estranging aspects of daily life.
Simultaneously, his works show a great enthusiasm and zest for life. Lobi wants to battle the superficial and easy accessible character of our current world, dominated by multi-media. In turn, he wants people to really look at and discover the content of his paintings, by making them as interesting and surprising as possible. He receives his inspiration from works that were made in fifteenth- and sixteenth-century Europe. Jenny Saville.

Bryan Lewis Saunders is an artist from Washington D.C., not just any artist though. Saunders prefers to take a more unconventional approach to his artwork.
Arguably his most interesting project, entitled DRUGS is described as follows: Below, you can view a collection of portraits Saunders drew while under the influence of various substances ranging from cocaine, to marijuana, to DMT. Each portrait is an astonishing look into the mind of someone tweaked out on drugs, something that your eyes will surely appreciate.
