Symbolism & Foreshadowing: Three Studies for Figures at the Base of a Crucifixion (1944) by Francis Bacon
Bacon had painted for years before he painted the very work displayed here in the show. After painting this work, he then insisted that none of his other previous works counted, and that this triptych should be considered his origin story. He tried to rewrite his own history. Art critics mostly let him get away with it too.
Very interesting that they have this work, the first “true” work in the artist’s own revisionist history of his own life. This artist is famous for paintings in series but the choice of a triptych (3) than any other number is suggestive. It’s a triptych of living figures, too.
The figures are inspired in part by the Furies, who would (either as a function of revenge or justice) brutally kill transgressive murderers for crimes such as matricide and patricide.
Other fun facts about Bacon:
- gay, and went from being the younger, dominated partner to being the older and more dominant partner
- Irish
- history of substance abuse
- obsessed with painting mouths
- people would call his work horror, but he couldn’t understand why
- once got such a bad crush (his word) on a painting that he couldn’t bring himself to visit it in person
- canonically attracted to his own father

Unintended consequence of creating my own Bill... He watches me draw now...
The Horrible Triangle in question:
#On the 3d glasses: it's exposure therapy and even if it wasnt: I can't break the geneva convention because I'm not at war. Anyway#i think this is the first billford kiss ive posted??? Which is hilarious. Ive done a lot of on these guys that I've drawn but not posted#genuinely i will be drawing and suddenly remember he is behind me. He initially watched me sleep but its safer on the shelf#his prototype brother still watches my bed tho. So while HE is Safe. I Am Not.#Gravity falls#Fan art#Bill Cipher#Comic#Doodles#Silly posting#custom plush#Gravity falls comic#Gravity falls fanart#Fanart#Billford#Ford pines my beloved. i am never giving you a break sorry#tbob / thisisnotawebsite lore my beloved also. giving him those 3d glasses is fun :)#cw eye contact#GF fanart#artists on tumblr#My art

Winter has arrived…
Its coldness, unsettling stillness, and relentless rains have taken over. Last night was harsh, as the heavy rain flooded our humble tents, leaving behind nothing but cold and suffering.
My children, their small bodies can no longer endure this piercing cold. All I can do is hold them close, but even that is no longer enough to shield them from the cruelty of this weather. Our tiny tent, barely offering us shelter, stands less than 100 meters away from the sea. The crashing waves and roaring winds create a daily battle for us, amplifying the fear in my children during the darkness of the night.
This morning, we woke up to the same exhausting reality. I don’t know if this suffering will ever end or if it will repeat with every new sunrise. Sometimes I wonder: does tomorrow hold any hope for us, or is it just another chapter of pain?
These are not just words, but glinnmpses of the reality of my life and the suffering of my children, for which I can find no solution.

broke: Ahsoka and Rex swap outfits and it’s horribly obvious plus fits badly
woke: Ahsoka and Rex swap outfits and look absolutely amazing in their new fits
#Oh and ik this is basically a shitpost#But I think it’s kinda funny that both are willing to swap identities with the outfits and everything#But both have that one thing they can’t leave behind#For Rex it’s his gun and Ahsoka her braid#Because Rex is a protector and a soldier and can’t leave behind his reason for life#Hell fighting is the only reason he exists#And then Ahsoka can’t abandon the Jedi braids because she is so tied into her culture that she can’t cope without it#She can’t stand the idea that this thing that marks her to be Jedi could be gone#And this is only amplified after her leaving the order#Anyways#this was supposed to be a Halloween post#but I forgot about it so now it’s not a Halloween post#It’s a November 17th post#Hehe I think this might be the most tags I’ve ever written#my doodles#fanart#star wars#art#tcw#ahsoka tano#my thoughts#artists on tumblr#digital art#501st battalion#captain rex#the clone wars#star wars the clone wars#clone wars#501st legion#outfit swap

#ganondoodles#art#digital art#painting#artists on tumblr#ocs#original character#look i had to call it quits at some point#so if i waited anylonger to post it in whatever form of finished it was i would have lost interest and would never have posted it so#here it is#also you guys get more info#zaphira is the empress of the largest land in this world and conquered most of it in her youth#she used to be obsessed with war bc she wanted to prove herself to be the strongest ruler there was after the violent death of her-#adopted parents#she grew to see that that isnt the way in part bc of her lover at that time who was a general in her army#but she died in that battle and since then zaphira has been trying to rebuild whatever she destroyed and give back what she can#but she is still very hated and couldnt leave her palace for the longest time bc of assassins until she heard of a demon lurking around#and sought him out to be her bodyguard bc who would dare attack her when shes got a demon at her side#this is her arriving at the palace of another country whos leader challegned her to a fist fight bc he thought shes frail and old#(its an assassination attempt- she knows that)

Safe & Sound 💙
I just really wanted someone to give Echo a blanket so why not let it be Rex
Closeups T-T:
Bonus Doodle:
#swaddle him with love#star wars#captain rex#arc trooper echo#echo tbb#echo tcw#the clone wars#fanart#artists on tumblr#2024#yes those are tears in his eyes i liKED the detail#next time i draw the Marauder it will be in spot with better ref;-;#this came to me in a dream#drawing all his ports and wires made me cry a little ngl#but i had to focus on the goal#which is echo getting the blanket he deserved#rex has gotta help him cuz he's just got the one hand ;;#i wanted Rex's experession to be struggling to stay controlled#we all know how much having Echo alive means to him#but he's gotta keep it together cuz he's Rex and thats how he is#but in the knit of his eyebrows and his smile i wanted there to be something underneath#i hope i got that across#for Echo I was channeling the awkward charm of his headache line#and chibis are all in good fun#shhh if u saw me post this early no u didnt

Have I earned no protection
Goddess heed my supplication
All I get for my faith
Is his fate in the sea
Her retrospective revenge will do nothing to protect me
