Paintings by James Ensor. The final painting in the series is titled "Two Skeletons Fighting Over a Pickled Herring." I think this is very important.
Fairly recently I had a very specific poetic form appear to me in a dream with its own long, fictional history. This is an example of said form.
Gustave Courbet was a French painter, well-respected for his ability to portray density and weight. He also was considered to be a rather scandalous painter, known for deviating from the classical traditions of nude painting, and considered quite lewd because of it. The third painting in the series is one of his earlier self portraits.
