She was.
Too bad she had an aversion to it.
I think the closest she got to having sex was her relationship with J Cornell.
What a coupla weirdos...
I always liked this image.Virgin Annunciate by Antonello da Messina when seen in person.
First artist to depict the Annunciation (angel Gabriel telling Mary she would conceive a son) as an interior, spiritual revelation, not as a winged androgynous humanoid, speaking to her externally.
Roden Crater, Arizona.
I was there after they did the initial grading. I haven't been back since. It's an amazing project (I worked for the artist- James Turrel- for time) but I came to feel that nature doesn't need a human intervention to embellish it. As President Theodore Roosevelt said of the Grand Canyon-
"Leave it as it is. Man cannot improve on it; not a bit. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it."

Saw this and thought it was a fair representation of two of the more self-aggrandizing indviduals on this forum.
Was going to mention Maggiori, his stuff is beautiful. Not much more to be said. Have prints of those two among others, can sit and stare at them for hours.mark maggiori

I'm about to avalanche this thread with some stuff but thought I'd start of with some of my own-
A few studies I did for black light paintings. I never ran with this ball because I'd get a headache after a while.
So when my kids were in about 4th and 6th grades, wifey and I took 'em down to the Getty. Sure enough they had an exhibit by Gustav Klimt, whose art I remembered from Vienna. I'm like, "let's check it out!" So it was only a subset of his work that was all line drawings, mostly of women like this. I'm like, "oops", wifey is horrified, and the kids were like, "wtf". We went out and dug the view instead.
