Ricki Yasha TarrWhen I was little, someone showed me the painting Where The Bears Picnic aka The Bear Dance, and I had so much FOMO, that animals were having secret parties I wasn't invited to.
Share a piece of art that had an effect on you as a small child too!
Nick@RickiTarr Being a kid whose head was involuntarily filled with religious terror, I was absolutely scared shitless by a painting of the last judgment/judgment day in a reference book we had, an encyclopaedia type thing. It might not have actually been the Bosch painting of it, but it was Bosch-like, with lots of horrors like people rising from their graves, being thrown into flames, tortured by demons, others marching up to heaven in the nude etc. It was A Lot.
Mat BIt's funny you should say this, when I was about 7 we'd visit my parents best friends, a hippy/stoner couple (not that I knew that at the time but their house was very different to my straight laced folks), who had a fireguard with The Garden of Earthly Delights by Bosch on it. I would sit on the floor studying it for ages every time we visited.
I was, and still am, mesmerized by it. Like absolutely nothing I'd ever seen before.
In hindsight I think that explains a lot ðŸ«
@TwoClownsEating @RickiTarr Lot of bums in that painting. The garden of unearthly bums, it should have been called.
@TwoClownsEating @RickiTarr Of course the bums do follow you round the room, because that’s the sign of a good painting.
I've got a fine art degree and this is the first thing you're taught.
