these paintings have so much incredible depth its wild. they are described as sensual, nebulous and erotic self-representations, which reminds me of all my friends when they sigh and say they wish they were a pink cloud instead being burdened by their corporeal form. they definitely look so much more deep and nuanced in person, i would highly recco coming to meditate on them in person if u can. they are pictured here with mars‘s tarot readings for a divination salad.

cutieful painting i saw by dana schutz ::
Schutz painted this emotionally charged composition as part of a group of subjects she called "self-eaters," imaginary characters who have the power to regenerate by consuming portions of their own bodies. In part, such a hallucinatory narrative might represent an analogue or allegory of painting itself, a practice that artists continue to reimagine through both regurgitation and reinvention. Here, Schutz brings into being two subjects with mask-like heads who, in her words, are "sort of consoling each other," or else "trying to feel what the other one is doing." Evoking touch rather than sight might contradict the notion that painting is a purely visual medium, but Schutz’s work appears both optically charged and sculpturally formed, constructed of worlds within worlds.

if you haven’t had a mystical experience with a color field painting, you simply haven’t stared at one long enough

A couple years ago I discovered Dalí’s painting of Hermes and was obsessed with it. Recently stumbled over this painting of Medusa and I’m similarly enthralled.

i read this book right after leaving an abusive relationship, trying to figure out what love was for me and how i could see it in my recently shook up world.
bell hooks writes in a simple, honest language. it’s a beautiful, accessible book that humbled me and taught me how to love people and where find the love i desired.
