The Green Straw Hat Giovanni (1930), Pavel Tchelitchew

[ganymedesrocks]

Pavel Tchelitchew, born Pavel Fyodorovich Tchelitchew (1898 - 1957), was a Russian-born painter, draughtsman, stage and costume designer best known for his imaginative Surrealist concoctions of geometric abstractions and stretches of landscape superimposed onto biomorphic forms.  His work synthesized mystical, erotic and highly symbolic imagery, experimenting with the nature of objecthood, painting and modern life, to give us some of the more aesthetic renderings of all Surrealist portraits and anatomical studies of the twentieth century.

James Dean

Marlon Brando, 1955

“That’s a part of the sickness in America, that you have to think in terms of who wins, who loses, who’s good, who’s bad, who’s best, who’s worst…I don’t like to think that way. Everybody has their own value in different ways, and I don’t like to think who’s the best at this. I mean, what’s the point of it?”
