i'm currently attending a northern renaissance art class
which i do enjoy
but much of the class goes something like this:
madonna and child
christ as the man of sorrows
st. anthony,
st. christopher
st. grumble grumble
christ as the man of sorrows
madonna and child
madonna and child
the annunciation of the grumble
christ as the man of sorrows
madonna and child
more madonnas and grumble
the altarpiece of st. grumble
grumble grumble...
grumble.
until...
this week we studied the works of flemish artists from the 15th and 16th century
which are pretty much
awesome.
and for some reason i couldn't help but see a relationship between Bosch's work and that of surrealists, Salvador Dali and Rene Magritte
top: Bosch, bottom: Dali

which got me thinking about fashion...
can fashion be surrealist?
or have a surrealist aspect to it?
maybe in the work of Rowan Mersh?
not completely convinced, but his abstraction of the female form leads me to believe that it could be considered surrealist fashion.
side panels: Bosch, center panel: Rowan Mersh

oh i like those! they're a lot cuter than what i found haha
