“Rubens, for instance, takes a gross pleasure in female flesh, rendering it truthfully from lack of imagination and analysis. Idealist painters like Bourgereau awake to the divergence between Nature and their academic standards of Beauty, falsify the facts in order to delude themselves. The greatest, like Rembrandt, paint a gallant, a hag, and a carcass with equal passion and rapture; they love the truth as it is. They do not admit that anything can be ugly or evil; its existence justifies itself. This is because they know themselves to be part of an harmonious unity; to disdain any item of it would be to blaspheme the whole.” https://library.hrmtc.com/2026/04/30/rubens-for-instance-takes-a-gross-pleasure-in-female-flesh-rendering-it-truthfully-from-lack-of-imagination-and-analysis-idealist-painters-like-bourgereau-awake-to-the-divergence-between-nature/ #academicStandards #aleisterCrowley #analysis #anyItem #asItIs #awake #beauty #blaspheme #book #carcass #deludeThemselves #disdain #divergence #doNotAdmit #equal #Evil #existence #facts #falsify #femaleFlesh #forInstance #gallant #greatest #grossPleasure #hag #harmoniousUnity #idealistPainters #inOrderTo #justifies #knowThemselves #lackOfImagination #liberLegis #love #nature #NewComment #paint #passion #PeterPaulRubens #quote #rapture #Rembrandt #rendering #takes #TheBookOfTheLaw #truth #truthfully #ugly #whole #WilliamAdolpheBouguereau

Time to bust out that one-inch punch, Rowan. Oh, you didn't study with Pei Mei? Ooops. #FrightClub #Hag

I love a good booby trap-setting montage. I wouldn't mind seeing one in every movie. #FrightClub #Hag

The fingernail thing is seriously squicking me out. I'm sure that's pretty much universal, tho. #FrightClub #Hag
