My space for Unica Zürn
Labyrinth by Jan Lenica 1963 part 1&2
"I have always liked to move at the periphery of
Art, at the crossing of genres. ... I have enjoyed ... combining
elements which were seemingly distant, if not quite foreign, blurring
the borders between adjacent areas, transplanting noble qualities to
"lower" genres, in other words - quiet diversion" J Lenica.
Reveries Fantastiques ..Joseph Apoux
Active 1880-1910 Especially renowned for his risqué and titillating etchings. His rather pornographic "alphabet" (circa 1880) is particularly noteworthy. Took part in the L'Exposition Internationale de Blanc et Noir in 1886.
This group of striking images dates to just before the turn of the century and is typical of the "fin de siecle" aesthetic preoccupations with sex, death and the bizarre.
