Oil and fumage on canvas. Paalen was an Austrian artist who fled war-torn Europe in 1939 and arrived in Mexico at Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera’s invitation. Paalen made Mexico his home for several years until he moved to California with his new wife. Two years later, the divorced artist returned to Mexico and remained there until his death.

hello why do you like the two headed calf so much? like what is it about? i read it but i dont get poetry so i couldnt really understand it so

I think it's this painful raw poem about being different and how the world can't be kind to you (freak of nature, it's already dead when the poem begins) The idea that it was born already dying and how after it's death it's going to be put in a museum, which could both be interpreted as it being made a spectacle to be gawked at or to be admired even in death, I think the former.

But its life, however fleeting was beautiful and they were able to see the world in a way that most people wouldn't (twice as many stars as usual) and the evening is perfect and warm and they're safe and loved with there mother. It's the half suffering a strange existence and half being able to experience life at it's most simple and lovely.

How can you read "I have love in me the likes of which you can scarcely imagine and rage the likes of which you would not believe. If I cannot satisfy the one, I will indulge the other" as a closeted teenager and not be changed on an atomic level because of it
