Nebuchadnezzar

William Blake, ca. 18-19th century

Blake’s print presents the brier with a King facing madness. Crawling like hunted prey, hair tangled and sweeping his surroundings, nails overgrown reminiscent of the talons of vultures, wide eyes filled with terror. The tale of Nebuchadnezzar concerns a Babylonian King drawn to madness and isolation until he surrenders to the power of God. His fate if not to surrender is to be driven away from people, to willfully live as a wild animal,

The Frenchman wore an ugly button up shirt with a cheeseburger pattern battering every inch of fabric. "The cheeseburger is the food of Americans", he explained, "and Americans are vain." The associations between Americans and vanity and Americans and cheeseburgers were so strong he could not help but circuitously assume cheeseburgers were also some product of extravagant New World psychological masturbation, rather than a meal of somewhat pitiful necessity, or worse, a product as European in origins as he was, and even here he could not escape the disinterested rabble of the burgs and becs at home. Here the Frenchman was a strange, grumbling, conceited man rummaging through a cold pile of hash browns in a rickety diner in a forgotten plain of middle America, once again among the poor and old and settled. Meanwhile the burger had spread from far more innovative immigrants than he to all corners of the lands through its satisfaction of need and easy digestion. It was pitiful that such a soul, in trying to keep inflated that buoyant pride which gave him life in this sea of corn and depression, unable to avoid his failure in the arts overseas, felt the need to invent and then attack strange symbols and ideologies through highly unusual means, such as ironically wearing a cheeseburger shirt. In a way, he had brought a sort of avant-garde to the old town, just as misunderstood here as it would've been anywhere else, for not only was it baseless and stupid, but seemingly mad. He would pretend to be obsessed with burgers--in a way he was--in order to more fully accentuate his hatred for them.

'Fritz Lang's production designers—Erich Kettelhut, Otto Hunte and Kurt Vollbrecht—shaped the fictional city of Metropolis by re-imagining contemporary Manhattan. [T]hey spliced the city with buildings inspired by avant-garde European architects—among them, Cubist architects from the Bauhaus School; expressionists, like Erich Mendelsohn; Le Corbusier, with his vision of high-rise cities; and ... the Italian Futurist Antonio Sant'Elia, whose "Città Nuova," presented his future city as a multi-level megastructure shot through with daring interconnecting bridges and vertiginous aerial walkways.' (CNN)

Propaganda

Milena Dravić (Horoskop, Kros Contri, Devojka)—She's obviously not a Hollywood star. But she's absolutely THE biggest star from Serbia/Yugoslavia and one of the most stunning faces of European cinema. She was obviously the hottest in her film W.R. - Misterije organizma (just google it) but that's from 1971 so I guess that we can't count. But listen! She was stunning even in her earlier films. Her charisma was unparalleled. She's mostly known for Yugoslav Black Wave films (including Puriša' Djordjevič movies) but she starred in basically everything. I wish more people would remember her and appreciate her because she was truly the 60' icon.

Delphine Seyrig (Last Year at Marienbad, Muriel or the Time of Return)—delphine seyrig was a magnetically compelling and radiant lebanese-born french actress, director, and activist, known for appearing in arthouse classics like alain resnais' enigmatic last year at marienbad and collaborating with avant-garde and feminist filmmakers

This is round 1 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.

[additional propaganda submitted under the cut.]

Delphine Seyrig propaganda:

Obviously she is very hot and talented, but she was also a filmmaker in her own right, making documentaries about the women's rights movement in France in the 1970s and choosing projects for their feminist subjects (Jeanne Dielmann for example).

MILF. Who said that

The Pisces Quest for Glamour

I had made posts about Rahuvian fashion & style and how Rahuvians seem to prefer a very loud, eclectic, vibrant, mix-matchy style. This is a general pattern and not a strict one that every Rahuvian will relate to. Its possible to be Rahuvian and not fit into this style at all (Margot Robbie, Mila Kunis both Swati Moon, who have a more laidback style come to mind). But for this post, I thought I'd explore Pisces natives (UBP & Revati) and how they seem to often prefer a very old school, glamorous almost old Hollywood-like style. They like timeless, classic pieces and are very sophisticated when it comes to fashion.

Angelina Jolie, Revati Moon

I think "quiet luxury" or "chic" style is exemplified by Pisces natives and tbh no one does this better than Miss Angelina Jolie. She's uber stylish, understated but super cool

Taehyung, Revati Moon

Taehyung has many different styles tbh but he is kind of known for his crisp classic European-esque style, very chic, very 🤌🏼

Pisces fashion can also be very feminine, very girly, very glamorous and here are some examples of that:

Salma Hayek, UBP Moon

Salma is always dressed to the 9s and that is on her UBP Moon.

Mariah Carey, UBP Sun

Miss Ma'am Mariah is known for her love of diamonds and old Hollywood glamour. She's always retained her hyperfeminine glamdoll style regardless of the changing trends.

Janhvi Kapoor, Ketu in UBP

oopsies her head is cut out in some of these pics lol but Janhvi refuses to wear anything that isn't sparkly, shimmery or bodycon lol

its very glamorous in a tacky ish way i guess

Gabi DeMartino, Venus in Revati

Ik she's hella problematic, I'm only including her bc of her girly girl glam style. Venus is creativity/beauty etc so we often channel our Venus when we style ourselves which is why I've included her even tho she does not have big 3 pisces

Anya Taylor Joy, UBP/Revati Moon (Mars & Ketu in Revati)

I'd say Anya is one of the only younger actresses who do glamour well and she has an edgy, avant garde spin on glamour too. And that's on her Pisces stellium<33

Rooney Mara, UBP Moon/Mercury/Venus

Another person who has a very classic, chic style but is more subdued than Anya is Rooney who also has a Pisces stellium.

only 30 images are allowed per post so there will be a part 2 <33

⬛️ WEBSITE MOCKUPS : RKIVE.ORG ⬛️

“When we went abroad, we stayed in our hotel rooms except when we were working. The only places I could go then were museums. The art galleries full of Monets or Van Goghs were always crowded, but when I visited one weekday morning and had them mostly to myself, I had a eureka moment—an artist who’d passed away 100 years ago was communicating directly with a boy from Korea. I was so envious. From then on, I began seeking out and learning about Korean painters.” — HAPPY NAMJOON DAY! ; 940912 ; CLICK FOR HQ. twt | ig

Note: rkive and gallery walk gifs may take a bit to load, and look best on desktop. Note 2: To learn more about all of the artwork and artists showcased, click below.

When The Year 2000 Comes (2019), by YANG HAEGUE, the avant-garde of Korean art. “She is an accomplished and international artist. She notably represented Korea at the Venice Biennale in 2009 and participated to the prestigious dOCUMENTA (13) in Kassel in 2012. In her works, which flirt with conceptual art, she explores myths and stories, that touch on the universal. She appropriates them through sculptures, installations, performances, and video.”

From Point (1976), by LEE UFAN, Korean Zen Art. “He is a Korean artist known worldwide for his paintings depicting the mark of a brush whose color fades… Yet his practice goes far beyond that! He creates performances, sculptures and installations, which always question a certain “state of being.” He is influenced by Zen and Asian philosophy, but has also drawn heavily on Western thought. Among his favorite subjects: observing the intimate, conflicting or poetic relationship between natural and artificial elements.”

Brushstrokes-Diagram (2015), by SONG HYUN-SOOK, Korean and Western art. “With her, each brushstroke tells a story, a journey. She weaves links between Korean art and Western art. On the one hand, it expresses that almost meditative state of concentration that exists in the art of calligraphy. On the other hand, she uses tempera, a typically European oil painting technique, to create patterns that immerse the viewer in reality and the present moment.”

Drawing, Charcoal on paper, 65 x 50 cm (2014) and Issu de feu Charcoal on canvas, 100 x 81 cm, (2000), by LEE BAE, the Soulages of Korean Art. “A Korean abstract artist. Like Soulages, for whom black is a color, he explores the almost infinite possibilities of black. He sinks into the abyss of darkness. Until recently, he mainly used charred materials to paint his canvases. In doing so, he offered a powerful metaphor for the cycle of life.”

Écriture No.160523 (2016), by PARK SEO-BO, Korean abstraction. “One of the best known Korean artists. He is emblematic of the monochrome Dansaekhwa movement. A current that synthesizes the traditional Korean spirit and Western abstraction. In a way, he is very close to minimalist artists, choosing neutral tones to highlight components and fabrics.”

Mat 61 × 81 #19-17 (2019), by SUKI SEOKYEONG KANG, contemporary art. “Born in 1977, this Korean artist is one of the biggest names of the art market. Her work is mostly inspired by her own philosophical research and reflection on space and our place in it. She uses sculpture, installation, and performance to explore these ideas. Her works were presented, among others, in the Venice and Shanghai Biennales.”

Untitled (1966), by CHOI WOOK-KYUNG, the outcast. “Wook-kyung Choi (1940-1985) is an outcast in the history of contemporary Korean art. She is an abstract painter. But most Korean abstract painters shine in Dansaekhwa: the Korean monochrome. She, on the contrary, is mainly influenced by expressionism. Brutally, instinctively, aggressively, she throws the colors on the canvas. She seeks to immerse herself in the moment, and to create true, pure, expressive forms. Thus, it plays a capital role for the diversity of Korean abstract art.”

Thank you for your interest in these artists and this passion project! All of the website information (other than the artist bio on the Artist Spotlight page) is fictional. Happy Joonie Day 2022, and let’s continue to support him and all the fantastic Korean artists out there.

SRC: one, two, three
