Albín Brunovský. 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!).

The Art of Mark Brown. Stephen Mackey. Jammin’ Jodorowsky. 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. 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 He died in 1616 with a great deal of unpublished work, which was noticed and picked up by student Adriaan van den Spieghal, a writer and scholar of medicine and botany. He wrote books on anatomy, particularly fetal development, but these too remained unpublished as of his death in 1625.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. The Stout Woman. With particular care indeed!
