Toyen (Marie Čermínová) (Czech, 1902-1980) - Minuit, L'heure Blasonnee (Midnight, The Emblazoned Hour) (1961)
Toyen
Title: Poselstvi Lesa (Message of the Forest) Artist: Toyen (Czech, 1902-1980) Date: 1936 Genre: Surrealism Medium: oil on canvas Location: Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK
Considered the most important Czech Surrealist, the artist born Marie Čermínová adopted the name Toyen in early adulthood. The name's source is debated: it has been variously identified as a shortened form of French citoyen ("citizen") or as a play on the Czech sentence To je on ("it is he"). Toyen dressed in clothing traditionally associated with men and used masculine forms within the Czech language.
In this striking painting, a birdlike figure clutches a woman's severed head in its talons, with a wooden surface behind. Birds were a common motif in Surrealism; Max Ernst, for example, used them frequently in his paintings and collages and adopted the identity of Loplop, King of the Birds. The enigmatic use of traditionally feminine imagery, on the other hand, is highly distinctive of Toyen.

ahoj, čumblre.
post o motoristé v sobě plackách od @palacholic mě dost ispiroval. konkrétně inspiroval k tomu oprášit své velmi základní znalosti počítačové grafiky.
prostě jsem vytvořil pár vlastních bizarních návrhů placek.
první je tu lenin s t4t gay vlajkou. nebudu elaborovat, prostě to je.
za druhé naděžda krupská (vpravo) s inessou armand (vlevo) s lesbickou vlajkou
třetí je mladý majakovskij s gay vlajkou
pak stalin a molotov, opět s gay vlajkou
za páté josip tito s bi vlajkou
šestý je marx s pan vlajkou
toyen ve dvou verzích (trans vlajka a čtyřpruhá varianta transmasc vlajky)
a nakonec mé dvě osobní nejoblíbenější:
mladý stalin s čtyřpruhou transmasc vlajkou a ludmila pavličenko (sovětská odstřelovačka z 2. světové) s čtyřpruhou transfem vlajkou
/původně to měly být pouze postavy ruských dějin, pak se mi tam nějak zatoulal nápad s titem a takhle to skončilo lol/
