Art Nouveau Around The World
Palermo, Palazzo Petyx.
Oh My! How have I been missing this era in my trip around the world of art? For some reason I had tipped my nose (upward of course) and walked right on by. Well, no more!
I think I saw it as an enactment of those sconces along the wall dressed like fans. Gold too. Now this is an example of such splendor that ostentatious never crosses my lips. Enjoy I shall.

This moth. This moth. Which predator will dare to attack it? To eat it? Look at those eyes. They look as if they belong to some monster. Things like this are so fascinating. Was it an accident of nature that allowed some mutant moth child to survive and mate? To cause an eclipse of moths to take over some edge of wood, of forest?
And again, the eyes.

” The Onion” a satyrical magazine just printed an article about no more Catholic Priests being allowed in Hell. Regardless of a stance or side taken, this is the greatest portrayal of Satan I’ve seen in some time. (I just noticed that satyr is the beginning of satyrical. Hummm.)
The article reads that the 9th ring of Hell (according to Dante of course) is become so crowded as to make further accommodations impossible. Further, the Father of Evil declared, the Catholics (Priests) rather creep him out. He says they are seriously messed up and unrepentant.
Apparently too much for the Rebel of Heavenly Powers who himself was kicked out of the Palace of Opulence. But for Pride, not incest. Hence his undeniable belief in his superiority over the Princes of Greed and “odorous foul-smelling rot.” They are stinking up Hell.
*Whew*

This is from Pablo’s “Blue Period.” It’s called Woman In A Flowered Hat.
Just think, this was painted in 1901. I wonder, had it been purchased then, at what profit today.
