#henry brown fuller #painting #oil on canvas #art #19th century #detail #painting detail #it explores the contrast between the purity of nature and the allure of material culture #which were common preoccupations during the Gilded Age #The Meaning: The painting features a woman holding a transparent sphere—symbolizing illusion—#just out of the reach of a child who attempts to grasp it #This depicts the human condition of longing for unattainable desires whether they are cultural ambitions #aesthetic ideals or material wealth #The Inspiration: The classical architecture and the woman's draped clothing #reflect the late-19th-century American obsession with Italian Renaissance classicism as the peak of civilization

Wassernixen (Mermaids) (1920) by Josef Wawra (Austrian, 1893 – 1935), oil on canvas, Belvedere Museum, Vienna

#Wassernixen #Mermaids #Josef Wawra #painting #oil on canvas #art #20th century #oil-on-canvas painting that reflects the lingering influence of Art Nouveau and Symbolism in post-WWI Vienna #Mythological Romance: Wassernixen translates to Water Nymphs or Mermaids focusing on mythical supernatural female #figures inhabiting water. This reflects a turn towards local folklore and fantastical themes common in Austrian and German art at the time.#Symbolic Duality: While mermaids can symbolize destruction (sirens) in this context they often represent a romanticized #quiet transition between human form and nature #Post-War Escapism: Painted in 1920 shortly after World War I the focus on idyllic or mythological scenes like Wassernixen #can be seen as a form of artistic escape from the socio-political trauma of the time #Figure Studies: Wawra was known for his portraits landscapes and studies of the human form often featuring nymphs fairies #Style: The piece is noted for its dreamlike quality merging the female figure with the surrounding environment #fave painting

You know that whatever character did those problematic things isn't like. Real, right?

lakemojave

You are aware that a fictional character is just a rhetorical construct designed to fulfill a narrative/thematic purpose right? That their actions are written by an author who wants to use them to explore complex ideas and moral gray areas within the safe confines of fiction right? That they aren't a real person who has killed real people right?

Truly it is incredibly inconvenient how you have to write your stories if you want to read them

shitty-check-please-aus

unless I come up with a series of words that form a series of sentences, I’m not going to read this story and nobody else is either and this is truly rude of the universe to work this way
