bosch bot is all time imo

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.

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!
