Fortean Art

[uair01]

More from the same exhibition. An art-horror installation and a space for and recording of some performance.
Most of it is totally unintelligible, but as Forteans, I assume we like the unexplained. In any case, I was highly entertained and will re-visit.

Are fake Warhols real Warhols?

"If the world-leading Warhol scholar says it's a Warhol, and you do everything in the mechanical process that the original artist did, and the original artist said 'I want other people to make my paintings', which he did - what is it?

"I don't know the answer to that question."

The late Judson Huss (d. 2008) was a surrealist with a penchant for symbolism. This work - The Sleeper - is one of my favorite portrayals of nightmare / night terror ...

A sampling of his artworks can be found at:

Nice find. That was great.
Totally evoked for me the conflict at Gallipoli in 1915. And an omen for conflict to come. The signs are everywhere.

Rangers and Celtic fans?

Rangers don't exist anymore. Liquidated in 2012.

Would have to be The Rangers fans, supporters of the new club formed in 2012.

Paul Cadmus (December 17, 1904 – December 12, 1999) was an American artist, best known for his egg tempera paintings of gritty social interactions in urban settings. His paintings combine elements of eroticism and social critique in a style often called magic realism. The Metropolitan Museum of Art has recently reintroduced a series of his thematic paintings, The Seven Deadly Sins (1945 – 49), for exhibit in the museum’s Modern and Contemporary Art Galleries, and they are amazingly graphic works of surrealist horror art that are really something to see.

Lust (1945)

Last Supper by Pieter Pourbus. Then there's this thing coming through the door.
I've seen a lot of religious art, but this is a new twist for me.
