What an innovative, bold and artistic way to draw the attention of society at large, and men, in particular, to the issue of gender discrimination..A ladies-only lounge was set up in a museum, interestingly, as a work of art. Men were denied entry to the lounge, making the art a lived experience. One of the men didn't take it well, and went to court against this discriminatory treatment, thus validating the purpose of the feminist artist's artwork !! #genderbender #feministart Read on!

Leonora Carrington, a celebrated British-born Mexican artist, created a profound piece of art titled “L’epidoptera” in 1968. This butterfly artwork, a surrealistic mixed media creation, is a powerful representation of Carrington’s unique artistic vision. “L’epidoptera” is a tempera and charcoal on Masonite painting. It showcases Carrington’s ability to transcend the ordinary and delve into a world of fantasy and symbolism. Carrington was a key figure in the Surrealist movement. Her work often explored themes of liberation, mysticism, and the feminine divine. “L’epidoptera” is no exception. This artwork represents a Goddess and butterfly. The Goddess arms raised in a gesture that denotes the voices of protest for freedom and the butterfly denotes freedom. The painting was created during a time of intense political unrest in Mexico City, where Carrington was living. The student movement was experiencing state persecution and armed repression. Carrington, deeply affected by these events, expressed her solidarity with the student opposition forces through her art. “L’epidoptera” is a testament to Carrington’s belief in the power of art to challenge the status quo and give voice to the oppressed. It’s a celebration of freedom and resistance, captured in the ethereal form of a butterfly goddess. It’s a reflection of a turbulent time in history and a powerful statement of solidarity. It’s a testament to Carrington’s belief in the transformative power of art. #LeonoraCarrington #Surrealism #ArtBlog #ArtHistory #SurrealArt #FineArt #ArtCritique #ArtAnalysis #ArtAppreciation #ArtLovers #ArtCommunity #ArtWorld #ArtistsOnInstagram #ArtOfTheDay #InstaArt #Butterflies #Butterfly #ButterflyLovers #ButterflyWorld #ButterflyEffect #ButterflyEffectUniverse

COURAGE - Having a burning fire within oneself to fight against the injustices faced by others and oneself requires bold courage. In today's materialistic and ego-centric society, many focus solely on "me and mine." But what about those who struggle against injustices that affect "themselves and theirs"? It is a significant challenge to stand up alone against those who hold power. However, with the support of others and shared courage, justice can prevail in most battles fought with determination. Dare to stand up for others and speak out where thousands remain silent. With the courage to fight, one knows no fear. This is true courage and heroic bravery. The rugged, defiant artwork captures this spirit of courage —a fiery, unwavering determination to stand against injustice, regardless of the odds. Each bold brushstroke and vivid color reflects the inner strength and resolve needed to be a champion for the voiceless. Use your backbone and that of your allies, and you will be rewarded—not necessarily with money, but with a clear conscience and honor. This artwork is dedicated to a special woman with burning courage.

Irish-born British painter Francis Bacon is one of the most successful 20th century painters. A self-taught artist, Bacon explored different aesthetics but very quickly, he found his unique style as we know it today – distorted figures that shed light on the human nature. Francis Bacon’s artistic vision was heavily influenced by personal loss, traumatic life experiences including homophobia, abuse and the atrocities of the two World Wars. He also found inspiration in the works of Masters of painting such as Vincent van Gogh and Diego Velázquez. Renowned for his innovations in portraiture and figuration, many of the subjects in Bacon’s works convey a sense of torment and despair, a theme that continues to attract buyers today. In this post, we invite you to explore the different artistic periods that mark the artist’s career. Follow us to find out more Francis Bacon’s works and his market.
