This caught me totally off guard… For context, Tarub is fav wife, who later, with the harem’s eunuch, plotted to kill the man with poison.

While the form factor was incidental, the world lost something when we lost album covers. Even CDs and cassettes didn’t inspire the same awe. This is the first cover I remember seeing.

The Beginning of Life www.wikiart.org/en/frantisek...

This is František Kupka’s painting The Beginning of Life. The artwork features a luminous and symbolic composition that merges natural elements with abstract, spiritual themes. Here’s a deeper exploration of its visual and conceptual elements:

The painting centers on a golden and glowing lotus flower at the bottom, symbolizing purity, enlightenment, and the origins of life. From the lotus, circular and radiant forms emerge, resembling embryonic structures or cosmic energy fields. One of the circles contains a fetal-like form, directly alluding to the concept of creation, genesis, or the spark of existence.

In the background, a serene pond is scattered with large green lily pads, which anchor the scene in a natural, earthly setting. The water’s stillness contrasts with the fiery glow of the abstract forms, emphasizing the transition from the physical to the metaphysical. The rich, earthy tones of brown and green in the background gradually dissolve into the ethereal brilliance of light and gold at the center, creating a visual metaphor for the emergence of life from darkness or the unknown.

Kupka masterfully combines natural elements with abstract, universal symbols to express a profound meditation on creation, the interconnectedness of life, and spiritual transcendence. The embryonic form and glowing lotus invite interpretations that bridge science, spirituality, and the mysteries of existence.

Form of Blue B I www.guggenheim.org/artwork/5641

Form of Blue B I by František Kupka is an abstract painting that feels like gazing into a visual symphony of motion and depth. Imagine a canvas dominated by shades of blue—deep and rich like the ocean at dusk—blending seamlessly with lighter, softer hues, reminiscent of the sky on a clear day. The blues are accented by occasional contrasting colors, like flashes of golden yellow or warm reds, creating a vibrant interplay.

The forms on the canvas are dynamic and curvilinear. Picture a series of sweeping arcs and swirling lines that interlock and overlap, as if a gust of wind has painted its path in visible streaks. These shapes evoke a sense of movement, like flowing water or the undulating rhythm of a breeze. Some lines are bold and thick, grounding the composition, while others are delicate and whisper-thin, giving it a feeling of lightness and ethereality.

As you explore the painting, you might feel the energy of the shapes pushing and pulling against each other, creating a tension that feels almost like a dance. The composition doesn’t depict a specific scene or object; instead, it captures an emotion—a sense of calm yet powerful motion, as if you’re witnessing the essence of fluidity and harmony.

This painting speaks in the language of sensation, inviting you to feel its rhythm, its contrasts, and its harmony, as though it were a piece of music translated into color and form.

Synthesis sbirky.ngprague.cz/dielo/CZE:NG... Probably my 2nd favorite circles in art

Imagine standing in front of a large, pulsating canvas where shapes and colors seem to breathe with energy. The painting is dominated by curving lines and sweeping arcs that flow in and out of each other, like waves rippling across a still pond. These lines guide your eye in circular, rhythmic motions, giving the sense that the painting is alive with movement.

The colors are vivid and luminous: rich blues, radiant yellows, fiery reds, and soothing greens swirl together, sometimes blending softly like watercolors, other times colliding sharply like shards of stained glass. The transitions between these colors are fluid, creating a sense of harmony and balance. It’s as if the colors themselves are music notes, rising and falling in intensity.

The composition feels structured yet free, as if the artist has captured an invisible energy or vibration in the air. There’s no clear representation of people, places, or objects—only an overwhelming sense of rhythm, like a visual symphony or a dance frozen in time. The experience of the painting is less about “seeing” and more about feeling the interplay of motion, light, and emotion. It invites you to lose yourself in its abstract beauty, much like listening to an intricate piece of music.

The Cathedral (Katedrála) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cat...

From Wikipedia: This painting is one of a series of abstract works that Kupka termed Vertical and Diagonal Planes. Vertical lines, running the entire length of the canvas are intersected by diagonal lines to form rectilinear shapes of various sizes. The diagonal lines run from the top left to the bottom right and from the top right to the bottom left of the painting. These rectilinear shapes are composed of blocks of black, white, and a range of blue, red, purple, gray, and brown color. The large black space between the two clusters of the shapes, and the arching of the top of the right cluster, brings to the viewer’s mind two stained glass windows illuminated by light in a dark cathedral.

Mme Kupka among Verticals www.moma.org/collection/w...

From MoMA: A vibrantly colored, tightly packed procession of uneven verticals nearly envelops a face painted in markedly nonnaturalistic shades of green and purple. Kupka would later say that to make this painting he had reworked an unfinished portrait of his wife, laying in strokes of color around her face until it was all but obscured by their boldly flat pattern—a method suggesting a literal assault on figuration.

What an awesome idea, here’s mine… Prompt: “Based on what you know about me draw me a picture of what you think my current life looks like”

A detailed illustration of a researcher’s workspace at sunset. The desk is filled with items reflecting a life in scientific research and tech development: a computer displays bioinformatics tools, gene expression data graphs, and 3D microscopy images. Nearby are small dishes with organoids, symbolizing drug development work. Books on startup law and drug discovery are scattered across the desk. A whiteboard in the background has sketches of knowledge graphs, clinical trial timelines, and drug discovery flowcharts. Plants and a coffee mug add a cozy touch, while a window reveals a stunning California sunset, casting warm hues across the room. The researcher is absorbed in their work, conveying focus and dedication.
