So dark, so gruesome, so interesting. I could not help but 'gawp' with wonder at all the fascinating depictions of devils, vices, killing devices, I loved this. This is a link to an insight of the exhibition! http://www.musee-orsay.fr/en/events/exhibitions/in-the-musee-dorsay/exhibitions-in-the-musee-dorsay-more/article/crime-et-chatiment-23387.html?S=&print=1&no_cache=1& I hope it works for you, it's a lovely read. You'll see that I came into contact with another one of my favourite artists, Francisco de Goya and this gave me the passion to draw in pen and pencil, to bring out the darkness in pieces that he was able to so capture in his amazing engravings. Goya will always inspire me so, and I thank him for it. Below is a list of the pieces inparticular that caught my eye in this exhibit!
Honore Daumier - Crispin et Scapin
Jules Laurens - Le Rocher de Vann, Kurdistan
Gustave Guillaumet - Tisseuses a Bou-saada
Paul Cezanne - La Madeleine au la Douleur
Adolphe William Bourguereau - Dante et Virgile aux Enfers
William Blake - Le Blasphemateur
Gustave Moreau - L'age de Fer, Cain, le Soir, la Mort
Carlos Schwabe - Illustrations des Paroles d'un Croyant de Lamennais
Franz von Stuck - Lucifer
Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux - Tete de Supplicie (d'apres Theodore Gericault)
Alfred Kubin - L'heure de la Mort
Francisco Goya - Brigand Assassinant une Femme Brigand Depouillant une Femme
Carlos Schwabe - La Vague
George Grosz - Cain au Hitler en Enfer
Victor Hugo - Ecce le Pendu
Paul Cezanne - La Femme Etranglee
Antoine Wiertz - Faim, Folie, Crime
Rudolf Schlichter - Destruction de la Chair
Vincent Van Gogh - La Guinguette
These pieces helped me realise my gross fascination for all things dark, gruesome, and generally grotesque, and how they don't infact repel me, but draw me in further. It's interesting how things have people react differently, even though they're the same thing. Such is humour, such is anger.
