I really like Varo (and have seen some in person!) but sometimes she's a bit too smooth in her work, imo. A little too "fantasy illustration". The stuff I like I do adore, though.

I'm assuming the Varo fans itt would either know or be interested in Carrington also?

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".

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.
