SPOOKY ART

I was SO tired last night I couldn’t even think to come up with a topic for today, and didn’t want to just post a link to Psychomania (that’s my backup, I’m saving it). When I woke up this morning, the free movie channel was showing The Picture of Dorian Grey, and as I stood before the tv, overwhelmed (as always) by a deep sense of gratitude that I am close enough to the Art Institute of Chicago to be able to see the titular painting in person if necessary, I realized that’s my topic! One painting by one man, Ivan Albright.

I’m having trouble thinking of other images right now, I can only come up with surrealists or late Medieval artists. And then people I follow on Instagram. Ernst, di Chirico, Magritte, all good. Bosch, anonymous cathedral sculptors, yes.

Oh wait, now I remember artists and occultists Austin Osman Spare, who started Sigil magic, and Marjorie Cameron, who was active with Jack Parsons and Kenneth Anger.

And an artist of whose work I’ve seen one picture in one book and I can’t remember the book. Or the picture title. But it was very cool and I did a web search and figured out how to spell her name. Fay Pomerance–mid-century, very cool work.
The Sixth Palace of Hell

I’m going to come back and add to this, I think, so I put “spooky art” in the title so it’s easier to find. I should have been doing that all along!
