Welcome to my blog! I'm a twenty year college student and budding art historian. I decided to give my blog a facelift. I am also no longer dedicating this blog to fandoms. Instead, I will focus on my one true passion, ART.
I will use this page to post and write about art. Have fun kiddies!

Franz von Stuck
The Kiss of the Sphinx, 1895, oil on canvas
Szépmüészeti Mùzeum, Budapest, HungaryThe marble image came alive,
Began to moan and plead -
She drank my burning kisses up
With ravenous thirst and greed.
She drank the breath from out my breast,
She fed lust without pause;
She pressed me tight, and tore and rent
My body with her claws.
— Heinrich HeineThis painting, like Sin, caused a sensation in Munich. Reproductions of it were removed from the windows of art galleries on the orders of the police. The painting is a universal symbol of the passion that leads to downfall.
