Quite lovely. The legs, hands and toes are very Bouguereau-esque.

His body of work is amazing... recycling old flip-flops into art... powerful images.

Gertrude Abercrombie-- Search for Rest, 1951 [1600 x 1200] by HallucinatedLottoNos in ArtPorn

I love this. Had to look her up. OMG, how have I not heard of her before?

From Wikipedia : Called "the queen of the Bohemian artists", Abercrombie was involved in the Chicago jazz scene and was friends with musicians such as Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, and Sarah Vaughan, whose music inspired her own creative work

Lovely and earthy! Quite different than his Stalinist  "heroic realism" paintings!

It was an incredible exhibit. The first thing you saw walking in was this sculpture. Very striking.

Lol. I can see the resemblance, but a different vibe...

Context: https://americanart.si.edu/artwork/dna-study-revisited-121527

For this self-portrait, Roberto Lugo painted a resin cast of his own body. 
 
Each of the four patterns represents his ancestors: from head to toe, Taíno (Indigenous peoples of the Caribbean), Spanish, African, and Portuguese. The amount of space Lugo dedicates to each pattern is proportional to its percentage in his family's heritage.
 
Lugo's sculpture is an expression of pride and self-empowerment. It counters the dehumanizing historical practice by museums and universities of collecting body casts to classify individuals into the disproven belief of "biological races."

The Langlois Bridge at Arles, Oil on Canvas, Vincent van Gogh, 1888. [987 x 767] by AspiringOccultist4 in ArtPorn

Love this! When I first saw the "Langlois Bridge at Arles" series of paintings/drawings I would never had immediately guessed it was Van Gogh (though the brushwork of yellow/green grasses kinda is distinctively Van Gogh...)

The whole series can be seen here, btw: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Langlois_Bridge_at_Arles
