Achilles Rizzoli (American, 1896-1981)

The Shaft of Ascension, Euthanasia Temple

A.G. Rizzoli created incredibly elaborate drawings symbolically representing abstract concepts in the form of fantastical Beaux-Arts buildings. Rizzoli designed an imaginary World’s Fair called Y.T.T.E. (Yield to Total Elation), possibly inspired by the San Francisco Expo of 1915.

In Shaft of Ascension, Rizzoli imagines a ceremonial temple where humane euthanasia can occur with honor and sanctity.

Random Fact of the Day no. 13 (RFOTD #13)

In 1911, when he was 35 years old, Augustin Lesage claimed he heard a voice speak to him from the darkness of the mine and tell him, “One day you will be a painter”. The only contact Lesage had had with the arts at that point in his life was a visit to the Palais des Beaux-Arts de Lille museum in Lille during his military service. The voice experience prompted him to explore communication with what he believed was the spirit world, and within a year of his first experience, Lesage was hearing more voices, this time specifically giving him instructions. The voice told him what to paint, what art supplies to buy and where to find them. It was his belief that the voice speaking to him was the spirit of his little sister who had died at the age of three.

On purchasing his first canvas, Lesage mistakenly bought one ten times as large as he had intended. His spirit guides instructed him not to be daunted, but to begin painting. Large canvasses became his chosen format.

Lesage went on to develop a unique, highly symmetrical style, drafting detailed patterns and monolithic constructions reminiscent of Egyptian and Oriental architectural forms.

Considering the less famous but just as brilliant work of Meret Oppenheim, the Swiss Surrealist most well known for her fuzzy teacup. How annoying would it be to have made all this amazing work and just have people know about your furry tea set??? Also, GOALS!
