These plaques are from an Etruscan tomb. The sphinxes flanked the interior of the doorway, while the three plaques show Greek myths - the Judgment of Paris (left), with Paris & Hermes; Athena, Hera & Aphrodite behind him; & Helen, with three attendants. This is worth a zoom 🕰️c560-550BC 🏛️BM 📷mine

On the night of October 6th, 1998 Matthew Shepard was beaten, tortured, and left to die near Laramie, Wyoming. Today marks the 28 anniversary of that brutal attack.

Tied to a fence post, beaten and left for dead. The only part of Matthew's face not covered in blood, was where the tears had run down his cheeks.
He died 6 days later.
Rest In Peace.
We must never forget that Hate Can Kill.

Salvador Dalí "Family of Marsupial Centaurs" (1940) oil on canvas | 35.6 x 31 cm (14 x 12.2 in). Private Collection #ArtSky #Dalí

"Family of Marsupial Centaurs" (1940) by the Spanish surrealist artist Salvador Dalí.

Key Details

• Medium: Oil on canvas.
• Style: Classical-leaning surrealism.
• Inspiration: Dalí linked the work to psychoanalyst Otto Rank’s theories on birth trauma, reflecting his own lifelong fascination with pre-birth memories.

Art Historical Context

During this time, Dalí moved away from the chaotic and pure automatism of early Surrealism toward what he described as a return to a Classical style. In this painting, he merges traditional mythological motifs (the centaur) with Renaissance-like anatomical precision, dynamic motion, and balanced composition.

Meaning and Psychoanalytic Influence

Dalí dedicated this piece to Dr. Otto Rank, a prominent psychoanalyst who theorized that human neurosis originates from birth trauma. Dalí claimed to possess vivid "intrauterine memories"—recollections of his time inside the womb before being born.
The Marsupial Metaphor: To visually represent this concept, Dalí transformed the centaurs into "marsupials" by painting hollow, womb-like openings directly into their torsos and bodies.
The Imagery: Inside these protective cavities, you can see human infants being sheltered and emerging, symbolizing the safety of the womb and the dramatic transition of birth.

Wassily Kandinsky "Composition VII" (1913) oil on canvas | 78.7 × 118.1 in. (200.0 × 300.0 cm) State Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow #ArtSky #Kandinsky

Key Facts About the Painting

• Artist: Wassily Kandinsky (1866–1944)
• Year: Created in November 1913 in Munich
• Medium & Dimensions: Oil on canvas; 78.7 × 118.1 inches (200.0 × 300.0 cm)
• Current Location: The State Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, Russia

Composition & Meaning

• Meticulous Chaos: While the piece appears entirely spontaneous and explosive, Kandinsky spent months creating over 30 preliminary drawings, watercolors, and oil sketches to meticulously map out its layers. He then executed the final, massive canvas in just four days.
• Visual Music: Deeply fascinated by the relationship between art and music, Kandinsky used the term "Composition" to describe works that expressed a deeply matured, internal spiritual feeling. He designed the interactions of colors and geometric elements to behave like standard orchestral or symphonic scores to invoke specific inner sensations.
• Hidden Motifs: Though it represents an intentional departure from traditional representation, art historians recognize undercurrents of biblical themes within its swirling patterns, including the Flood, Resurrection, Judgment Day, and the Garden of Eden
