Jacques Callot, Temptation of St Anthony (detail), 1635 🎨 #art #artsky #illustration #etching
tothestars.bsky.social ⋆⁺₊⋆ 𝕋𝕠 𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝕊𝕥𝕒𝕣𝕤 ⋆₊⁺⋆ @tothestars.bsky.social · Jul 5
This is as close as I'm getting to celebrating the 4th this year
This is a detail of a larger etching created in 1635 called Temptation of St Anthony by Jacques Callot. We see an illustration of a hybrid beast standing on a rock. The creature is bent over with a book laying open on its back. It has human legs, bat wings, and a dog-like devilish face. It's bending over and holding a trumpet up to its bare ass. Little musical notes are flying out of the butt trumpet. Context: This medieval image is the modern equivalent of typing "FART NOISES" in all caps

Jolene Lai, Secret Garden, 2023, oil on wood 🎨 #art #artsky #painting #oilpainting #tenebrism
Secret Garden, an oil on wood painting by Jolene Lai. A light skinned figure wearing a white dress with long pale hair tied in a blue ribbon is standing with their back towards us, in the center of the painting. There is a small gate with two steps, making it seem as though the figure had been walking and paused mid-step, seeming to hesitate continuing onward. Beyond where they stopped is lush greenery, blending into dark, vaguely ominous shadows. This painting captures the feeling of being unsure of what lurks in the darkness

photo by Annie Leibovitz as a homage of Edward Hopper, Blue Night (Soir Bleu), 1914 🎨 #art #artsky #painting #oilpainting #photography
a photo by Annie Leibovitz. The image is set up to look like the painting Soir Bleu by Edward Hopper. See the alt-text in the next image for an image description This image is an oil painting called Soir Bleu by Edward Hopper. Painted in 1919, it shows Hoppers transition from impressionism to new realism. In this painting seven people are at a cafe in Paris; most are seated at tables with one woman standing up in the back. A scattering of chinese lanterns line the top of the image. The background blends into a vague blue shape resembling a distant mountain range. But the gentle movement of the shape also brings to mind the swell of an ocean wave. Among the people seated is a clown dressed in all white, similar to a Pierrot style clown. He is looking melancholy while smoking a cigarette. The painting has an aura of detachment. There is a pointed lack of connection between the figures; each person seemingly disconnected from each other, giving the impression of being alone while surrounded by people.

René Magritte, La Duree poignardee, 1938 🎨 #art #artsky #oilpainting #surrealism
The painting depicts an LMS Stanier 5MT Black 5 locomotive jutting out of a fireplace, at full steam, in an empty room. Only the clock and left candlestick are reflected in the mirror on the mantle, suggesting that there are neither people nor furniture in the room. Notably, the candlestick on the right has no reflection. Bonus information for my alt-text readers: The title of the painting translates to English literally as "Ongoing Time Stabbed by a Dagger" and Magritte was reportedly unhappy with the generally accepted translation of "Time Transfixed"

Angelika Hoerle, Female Bust, 1920 🎨 #art #artsky #graphite #ink #drawing #watercolor
mmcarthur.bsky.social phoenixmcarthur @mmcarthur.bsky.social · Jun 22
Angelika Hoerle (1899–1923) :
Female Bust, 1920

Pen and ink, watercolor and graphite, 34 × 28.4 cm.

More info in the alt text 👇
“In the 1920s, German artist Angelika Hoerle exhibited at the Nierendorf Gallery in Cologne, where Katherine Dreier purchased this drawing, along with several other works, during a visit to Germany in 1922. Hoerle was known for her participation in the Cologne Dada exhibition at the Cologne Kunstverein in 1919, as well as her involvement with the Dada review Stupid 1 with Franz Seiwert and her husband, the artist Heinrich Hoerle, among others. The mannequin-like figure in this drawing suggests the influence of Max Ernst, who also participated in the Cologne Dada movement, though the elegant use of line and striking juxtaposition of black and white areas convey Hoerle’s unique visual language, shaped in part by her earlier career as a textile designer. Hoerle’s involvement in Cologne Dada was sadly cut short by her early death from tuberculosis in 1923.” Via Yale University Art Gallery.

Dominique Appia, Entre les Trous de la Memoire, 1975 🎨 #art #artsky #painting #surrealism
A partly invisible human figure is reading a book in front of a fireplace. From the fireplace a pile of books on fire spills onto the floor. Another version of the figure stands to the left, their form partially dissolving into the background. They stand staring outside where the wall of this room abruptly ends in an outdoor view of a hot air balloon floating above a sea of ice. To the right is an open doorway leading to the ocean, where the tide is coming in along with a ship. Towards the center of the image behind where the girl reading, is another open doorway where a large head of a statue stares at us ominously. The statue is wearing vines for hair. The entire scene is meant to feel strange and disjointed, like a dream.

John Martin, Omni Magazine cover art, 1982 🎨 #art #artsky #painting #illustration #surrealism
An illustration for Omni Magazine. A giant eyeball is floating in outer space. It's staring at a flat surface where eight humans, painted in varying rainbow colors, are frozen in the act of jumping up in the air and doing a backflip. The movements are synchronized to look as if each human figure is doing the same backflip.
