History knew the truth. History was the most inhuman product of humanity.It scooped up the whole of human will and, like the goddess Kali in Calcutta, dripped blood from its mouth as it bit and crunched.

Let us hope that in the future too, this new corner of culture in Vitebsk may live with this unmediated life, which people in general should live, and which was obstructed for us till now by various “conventions” and “traditions” made up by the satiated and dumb bourgeoisie.

Grilin, on the opening of the People's Art College in Vitebsk (January 28, 1919)

Sunga Park | on Tumblr (South Korea) - Architecture

Sunga Park is an artist living in Busan, South Korea. Although she majored in economics and didn’t have a typical art school education, she works today as a graphic designer and illustrator for kids. With her personal work, Sunga Park shows us that even empty spaces can speak. With a sharp eye for detail, her watercolor architecture blends realistic with abstract, and her portraits convey not just emotion but history.
