You can follow the discussion through the Comments Feed.
the first one is also my all time favourite I have a picture of it since my childhood. Impressive, gothic, female…..; but I do not know who has made it (hope not to embarrass me now ;/ )
YEP - that is a VERY good new idea to paint! DO IT !!
the first one is “all is vanity”, charles allan gilbert, 1892 (he made one other similar work with a devil face) - the second is “l’amour de pierrot”, artist unknown?, circa 1920 - of course i never knew these facts before researching these pictures
the first one I’ve always loved, the other ones I had never seen. I’m curious to see how your painting turns out. Received Taboo in the mail. Thank You
I had also grow up with the first one (hum,normal in an ultra catholic familly , vanity is like death ) i’m curious to see your painting ,thank you for Taboo
These are amazing! Thanks for sharing
I can’t wait to see you do a painting like this! That’ll be awesome.
Dali did one titled “Ballerina in a Death’s Head.”
dali did several! - this one is quite subtle: http://www.abcgallery.com/D/dali/dali202.jpg
and there’s this famous photo:

konomi has just reminded me that i have in fact done this idea before myself - i completely forgot about it! - my brain is a marshmallow : )
that was the COIL cover
