In the club
I'll replace the banner with something other than the cat with his little ikea rat sometime maybe. lol
My edo period samurai roommate keeps telling me how i’ll bring shame and dishonor to our apartment if I keep forgetting to wash the dishes. Like whatever dude, I’m not the one carrying on a passionate yet illicit affair with the daimyo’s daughter whose hand has already been promised to another.
The Demon Flying & The Fallen Demon
These two paintings (1899, 1902) have been created by Mikhail Aleksandrovich Vrubel, one of the main artists of the Russian Symbolist tradition and a pioneer of Modernist art.
Vrubel explored the "demonic" theme in multiple paintings, starting with his Demon that depicted the main character of Mikhail Lermontov's poem by the same name. The Demon Flying and The Fallen Demon are a continuation of the same topic within his art, though now also partially inspired by Alexander Pushkin's The Prophet.
