Josef Čapek. Bedtime (Evening dress), 1920

It's like a mixture of cubism and art deco (brilliant). Fun fact: He coined the word 'robot' which is derived from the Czech noun “robota”, meaning “labour” in a play he made back in 1920.

update it didn't grab me by the pussc like I thought it would ☹️ something about it felt sterile. altho there were some lurex threads in there that gave it a nice shiny glistening touch

may his works continue to confuse art handlers and ignite gross catfights, 57 emails in 20 minutes, screaming specialists and weeping assistants. RIP.. 🕯️
 
This is THE painting that made me fall in love with Munch 20 years back. The raw emotion, the anguish on his face: it was just something I never saw depicted so faithfully before (at least in modern art besides Picasso's Guernica). And that is what distinguishes the best artists from the rest: pure, unadultarated passion, a genuine urge to express your deepest emotions, unabashed authenticity and fearlessness in showing it. It's probably one of the paintings that has influenced me the most as an artist.

Edvard Munch - Jealousy, 1895

I'm taking a drawing class right now and we're looking at Bouguereau quite a bit. Kind of dying at the dangly earring homo archetype being depicted already so long ago.
