Cortège, Carl Phillips Pete’s Lament

[dream-of-ragtime]

okay, question for y'all:

For Violet's funeral, there was this epic and devastating cortege, right?

Now, I was thinking, would the same thing have been done for Sybil's funeral? Is that a thing you'd do generally or just for "special" occasions?

Because, if in fact they would have had a cortege on Sybil's funeral, CAN U IMAGINE?!?!

You can't tell me that this wouldn't have been the single most traumatizing scene ever.

also, imagine Cora, shit, just the thought of it makes me nauseos

I keep myself from saying too loud I love you until the moment you flush the toilet, then I say it, when the rumble of water running down through the house could mean anything: flood, your feet descending the stairs any moment; any moment the whole world, all I want of the world, coming down. --- Carl Phillips, from “Domestic,” Cortége

So, I have like zero images of Cortege when he isn’t in cat form...

Jean Dubuffet Cortège, signed and dated 1961, oil on canvas, 119.4 x 92.7 cm, private collection.

Jean Dubuffet was a French painter and sculptor. He was notoriously resolute in his rejection of academic art-historical precedent. He was a founder of the Art Brut movement and purposefully steered his sphere of influence towards the art of children or the mentally ill, rather than the accepted Parisian salons of preceding decades. Cortège is an example of the artist pursuing the ideals of the Art Brut movement, rejecting academic methods and art world norms with his ebullient forms and saturated palette. Articulated in vivid colour and frantic brushwork, this painting conveys a sense of the thronging urban mass.
