this guy's great (the peeking fellow with the beard and mustache is a portrait of the artist, and his self-portraits are worth looking out for)

you can pick up a Georges Rouault painting for the price of half a Tesla these days. I know which I'd prefer (the Tesla obv lol). No I like his stuff that is obv influenced by his early career in stained glass windows. I recall a quote in a book I was browsing in the college library 30 years ago where he says something like he's not interested in being a famous artist and quite content to plug away at his thing in "sweet obscurity".

might be too basic for you all, but the Bosch bot that posts details is fun and the most bot-y of the bots I follow (in that sometimes the details are not interesting at all):

the wikipedia entry on bosch scholarship talks about how the line used to be that bosch was basically a pervert who trolled everyone. now of course scholars know better and agree that bosch's paintings are in line with religious and social teachings and mores of the time. but frankly i choose to believe the pervert troll theory.

there's also a 'don't load any pictures' preference that you might've set and forgotten. (also, west london represent!)

was disappointed to hear that bullshit from some US museums over the Guston shows. If you can't see that his work is powered by despair and the recurrent Klan themes in his work are not promoting them, then it shows how ill thought out + insincere the corporate support, performative sensitivity towards black ppl post-BLM is from these institutions. Probably wrong thread!
