Balloon artist DJ Morrow has been branching out recently. Morrow makes elaborate balloon animals and other things but two of his latest creations are his amazing interpretations of Francisco Goya's Saturn Devouring His Son and Judith Beheading Holofernes by Caravaggio. I can't stop looking at these. And prints are available! (thx, caroline)
In the latest installment of Nerdwriter, Evan Puschak explains why Francisco Goya's painting Saturn Devouring His Son is so disturbing, not only from the standpoint of the subject matter but also the circumstances surrounding its creation.
I am especially fond of Art History Nerdwriter because the first video of his I ever watched was on Jacques-Louis David's The Death of Socrates. I've been a fan ever since.
