By Gustave Doré. Click for full size photo. Another version of this painting resides at the Roger-Quilliot Art Museum. It is heartbreaking and stunning in person, over 6 feet tall and vibrant. The tears in the fathers eyes, the slumped shoulders. It is supposed to be a rendering of a true event, a child fatally injured in a tightroping accident when performing with their family. At a distance, it seems a whimiscal image with fantastical characters, but instead it is an image of mundance and awful grief.

By Nicolay Bessonov. Click for full gallery. --CW: nudity, torture--. If asked, as a child, who my favorite painter was, I would answer Nikolay Bessonov. Not because of his talent or my knowledge of art, but because he painted what I deeply knew and felt. He painted female bodies brutalized, interrogated, and unjustly killed for a magic they did or did not possess. Ihey reflected my understanding of reality, in a way that "age appropriate" art did not, could not. They were the first paintings I'd ever seen that reflected me. -2024.10.25
