thank you!
^i think the photographer didnt took the polaroids individually. i think he might have set the polaroid films in the dark room on a wall than exposed the pre-taken photograph of himself. im guessing this is how it worked.
the rothko reminds me of the surface of the moon.

This is one of my favorite paintings. The red and blue angels behind and the shape of the madonna makes it very surreal for it's time, I think.
Jean Fouquet's Madonna and Child [Virgin with Child and Angels] (right panel of the Melun dyptich).
c. 1452-1455

i think it might not smell...
i've met some artists who use "gut lining' for their art work. it has a nice translucency to it when put next to the sunlight. theirs dry quite hard, not sure if they added glue to it
and also butchers use gut to make sausage..

emile josome hodinos lived in an insane asylum in the 19th century and after being institutionalized for about ten years, he began creating numerous drawings. his work is characterized (as is a lot of the art of the insane) by a horror vacui or fear of emptiness. a patient's disability had a profound effect on his/her style; for example, schizophrenic artists' works tend to share certain characteristics. art of the insane is categorized under l'art brut or outsider art. hodinos is one of many insane asylum inmates who has achieved fame among fans of outsider art.
these are two of his works.
emile josome hodinos, "bonneterie pour dames", c1885 (credit mam.cudl-lille.fr)
emile josome hodinos, "medailles", c1890 (pic by me)
i saw the "ecriture en delire" exhibition in paris, which featured a lot of his work as well as a large collection of others. the art of the insane is beautiful, unsettling, and often quite complex. (a famous example is adolf wolfli's illustrated 45-volume, 25,000-page epic and semi-ficitional life story)

Domenico Veneziano's Portrait of a Young Girl
c. 1465
The painting shows a young woman wearing an exquisite brocade dress. Although at first glance a half-length portrait is suggested, the subject's posture indicates that she is sitting in the marble embrasure of a window or balcony. A bright blue sky fills almost the entire background and contrasts with the pale flesh-tint to give the picture its distinctive colour-harmony.
The painter has shown an incredibly sure touch in bringing out the essential features of the young woman's face in profile. The features are delineated with the minimum of detail. The pattern of the brocade dress, depicted in the plane, underlines the medallion-like character of the picture. The emphatic use of line and the clarity of the contrasting colour-surfaces have always been regarded as typical of the Florentine style, but opinions differ as to the identity of the master.
The attribution to Domenico Veneziano we owe to Wilhelm Bode; before he purchased the portrait it had been attributed to Piero della Francesca. Latterly, the view has gained ground that this portrait was the work of Antonio Pollaiuolo. However, it is alternatively attributed to Alessio Baldovinetti.
