Do you have a favorite artist or movement?

i'm flaky and it's hard for me to pick a favorite anything, but lately i have been kind of obsessed with illustrators from the late 19th & early 20th century - this period is called the "golden age" of illustration because technological advances in printmaking, paper production, and rail transport made it more efficient to produce and distribute accurate color reproductions, so there was a boom in illustration work for books and periodicals. it also coincided with the modernist/postimpressionist rejection of naturalism and realism in favor of expressionism, symbolism, and proto-surreal (even proto-psychedelic) styles (and of a bunch of European artists becoming obsessed with & straight ripping off Japanese Ukiyo-e woodcuts) and i think there's a dreaminess, macabreness, whimsy and mysticism about a lot of the illustration work of the time.

i really like illustrators who were influenced by art nouveau design, like Kay Nielsen:

and Nakazawa Hiromitsu:

and Aubrey Beardsley:

and Virginia Frances Sterrett:

and George Wolfe Plank:

thank you so much for the art asks, anon, and sorry i have taken so long to get to them!

Ningyo (人魚)

En todas las mitologías del mundo han existido seres marinos misteriosos, antropomorfos y con algunas características animales. Esto incluye países como China y Japón. La sirena japonesa, ningyo, podría ser la explicación fantástica de avistamientos de dugones en el pasado, grandes mamíferos hervíboros que se acercan a las costas. 

A diferencia de las sirenas occidentales, la sirena japonesa tiene cuerpo entero de pez, sólo su rostro es de ser humano. Cuando se ha ivsto un ningyo en la costa, esa nuncio de algún tsunami o terremoto; aunque su avistamiento anuncia una catástrofe, también puede servir de alarma. La carne de ningyo era muy apreciada por creerse que podía otorgar belleza y juventud a quien la consumiera.

Alguna vez, una mujer llamada Yaobikuni probó la carne de sirena que le sirvieron en un banquete organizado por un dragón marino. La carne otorgó a la mujer belleza y juventud, permitiéndole casarse varias veces a lo largo de cientos de años. La muerte incesante de sus maridos le causaba profunda tristeza, así que decidió hacerse monja y peregrinó por todo el país ayudando a los pobres, acompañada de una rama de camelia, especie qu simboliza la longevidad.

Ochocientos años después, Yaobikuni encontró una sirena y le rogó que la liberase de la eterna juventud. La sirena cedió y Yaobikuni murió tranquilamente en una cueva.
