Purple kisses, golden clouds

The kiss of death.

This astonishing sculpture forms part of Barcelona’s Poblenou Cemetery.  The Kiss of Death (El Petó de la Mort in Catalan and El beso de la muerte in Spanish) dates back to 1930. A winged skeleton bestows a kiss on the lips of a handsome young man: is it ecstasy on his face or resignation? Little wonder the sculpture elicits strong and varying responses from whoever gazes upon it.

THERE WILL BE BLOOD - EMMA ARVIDA BYSTROM

I just hate the shame and disgust oftentimes associated with menstruation. It is an interesting and arguably poetic aspect of female biology.

Tidying Up Artby Ursus Wehrli

Wehrli takes everyday scenes of disorder and rearranges them into neat rows, sorted by different attributes such as color, size, shape, and type, etc.

My OCD is loving this.

OH MAN I LEARNED ABOUT HIM IN ART HISTORY AND HE’S LIKE MY NEW FAVE

He takes dudes like these guys and let’s them pick out/chooses an older picture to emulate and it’s a really interesting dichotomy between the hypermasculine way we’re supposed to think of black men and the way masculinity was thought of back in the day!

SO COOL RIGHT
