There were actually two ‘Wigtown Martyrs’, Margaret Wilson (18) and Margaret McLachlan (63). I guess Millais picked the young pretty one.
I did wonder whether this post needed a NSFW tag.
No, I didn’t create it. It’s in The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
I can’t resist pointing out this slightly naughty homage by Sylvie Jones.
Yes, like most people I associated him with his wonderful art nouveau posters and only discovered his historical work quite recently.
Artists’ muses often seem to have at least one titty hanging out. I assume they can only afford really shoddy clothing.
Works fine for me. Try a no titty version.
That wasn’t any old cat that was getting fucked, that was Nastasia Kinsky!
You’re right though, the film was complete bollocks.
I hadn’t really picked up on who the main character was. Now I can see the model’s eyes are directed at her.
No one ever said It was gonna be easy
Good one, but there really aren’t any wrong choices when it comes to Nick Cave.
Dirty Back Road would have been my pick from the Wild Planet album, but this is a solid choice too.
Well, I’m posting from lemmyNSFW and it flags everything NSFW by default. And I’m lazy.
I saw The Cramps live sometime in the mid '80s and it was probably the wildest gig I’ve ever been to. The mosh pit was pretty much a mass brawl and people were being dragged out unconscious. I came across someone slumped in a corner with blood running down his face and asked him if he was OK. “I’m fine mate,” he said “this is nothing. Last time I saw them I got a broken arm”.
I don’t see this as a celebration of the glorious revolution, it’s a bit more nuanced than that. There’s an obvious nod to the October Revolution, but there is also the inclusion of the Marshall amplifier and electric guitar; potent symbols of western culture. The mood seems deliberately ambiguous. Is she nostalgic for the past or is the calendar an unpleasant reminder of how things were?
Well, I’m guessing light pollution wasn’t a problem in 19th century Poland. That was just what you saw when you looked up on a clear night.
