These 3 paintings were part of a larger group, made during the Second World war, based on photographs of Nazis. Bacon sought to destroy most of the others, in which the specific source was more evident. When this triptych was first exhibited at the end of the war in 1945, it secured Bacon’s reputation. The title relates these horrific beasts to the saints traditionally portrayed at the foot of the cross in religious painting. Bacon even suggested he had intended to paint a larger crucifixion beneath which these would appear. He later related these figures to the Eumenides – the vengeful furies of Greek myth, associating them within a broader mythological tradition. Typically, Bacon drew on a range of sources for these figures, including a photograph purporting to show the materialization of ectoplasm and the work of Pablo Picasso.
The "Three Studies" were exhibited just as the Nazi concentration camps were revealed to the world, and came to be seen as expression of cruelty and despair. Their display marked the return of an artist who had nor exhibited for eight years. More importantly, it marked a huge departure in his art and the history of art in general.
The Olive Trees
Vincent van Gogh
(Dutch, 1853–1890)
Date: Saint Rémy, June-July 1889
Medium: Oil on canvas
Dimensions: 28 5/8 x 36" (72.6 x 91.4 cm)
In the blazing heat of this Mediterranean afternoon, nothing rests. Against a ground scored as if by some invisible torrent, intense green olive trees twist and crimp, capped by the rolling, dwindling hillocks of the distant Alps, beneath a light-washed sky with a bundled, ectoplasmic cloud.
After van Gogh voluntarily entered the asylum at Saint-Rémy in the south of France in the spring of 1889, he wrote his brother Theo: "I did a landscape with olive trees and also a new study of a starry sky." Later, when the pictures had dried, he sent both of them to Theo in Paris, noting: "The olive trees with the white cloud and the mountains behind, as well as the rise of the moon and the night effect, are exaggerations from the point of view of the general arrangement; the outlines are accentuated as in some old woodcuts."
Van Gogh's letters make it clear that he created this particular intense vista of the southern French landscape as a daylight partner to the visionary nocturne of his more famous canvas, The Starry Night. He felt that both pictures showed, in complementary ways, the principles he shared with his fellow painter Paul Gauguin, regarding the freedom of the artist to go beyond "the photographic and silly perfection of some painters" and intensify the experience of color and linear rhythms.
...even if you are a mighty exalted Wizard-King ruling over half of the besieged capital in a medieval kingdom...
...this time it started with an owl hooting, The Mage had just finished reading the Voynich Manuscript part three and his ancient eyes started to feel like ancient dust from a mummy´s crypt, sandman was close to his eyelids sowing seeds of sleep...
...then the owls hooting started to sound like a human voice complaining during horrible torture... it was like it uttered to worlds: yooouu, hoo-hoo, youu, Hoo-Hoo, kill, killed hoo-hoo meeee!
then a ghastly ghost started to form from ectoplasmic vapour, it was half bat, half human, it wore a wizards hat...
Paralysed by freight in his bed the mage-king couln´t even move a finger, he was frozen stiff and couldn´t move, the bat-ghost closed up to him...
it stuttered some misshapen language as twisted as its flesh...
-f-f-friend, fiend, friend, y-you, youuu killed meeee... you naaasty old maaan!!!
then two devils materialised they swayed and lurched towards him, they hissed in foul speech: Hey, Wizard-King I think you owe us some money, sssome, gold.... we want our gold you owe usss... and our massster his unholyness Belsey-Bob ruler of the brimstone dimension where lava burns flesh of creepy humans like you...
from far away he could hear the dragon rumble with it´s even more ancient wisdom than the wizard-king...
it said: hey ancient one, I was thousands of years old when you were just a wizard-whelp, how does such a fool treat an ancient creature like me? not with respect, then you send your people down my realm to harvest my power crystals, you know I will find you some day and roast you thick ugly human hide for a hundred years, I will make a slow roasting shish-kebab out of you, burn and roast your skin for eternity...
...the wizard Scremed: Go away, All of you, you are just in my imagination, bat-freak; I killed you, Yes, so what!?!?
Dragon, I respect nothing and no one who isn´t a biped, you are just an overgrown lizard...
...Devil I owe you nothing, you are just charlatans...
Now let me sleep...
...and so they didn´t they Royal-wizard was tormented for the rest of that night...
This is a put the camera right up to the glass at the dirty window and shoot blindly shot. I just don't know what that is on the right. Almost looks like a human figure, no? Probably just a reflection but it is a bit spooky...
I love all those "OMG I TOTALY TOOK A PITCURE OF A GHOSTSSS!!!11" images. Flash backscatter, breath condensation, camera straps, stray hairs, fingers in front of the lens... well here's a real ghost for you. BOO! :-)
This "ghost" is peeking up out of the stairway to the basement of the "River House" at Chippokes Plantation State Park in Surry, VA.

14-year-old Danny Fenton, an unpopular boy attending Casper High. He lives with eccentric ghost hunting parents and an overbearing older sister, Jazz. Upon pressure from his best friends, Sam and Tucker, he wanders inside his parent's Ghost Portal. He accidentally presses a button that zaps his entire body, infusing his DNA with ectoplasm, transforming him into a half ghost boy. Danny, who calls himself 'Danny Phantom' in ghost form, develops the ability to fly, become invisible, and turn his body intangible. Over time Danny becomes more powerful and develops other powers which he has to learn to control.
Powers : Basic Powers = Flight, intangibility, and invisibility.
Ghost Ray = An energy ball that can extend in size. It is also usable as a flashlight.
Ecto Shield = A ghost shield that can protect him by deflecting attacks.
OverShadowing = Possessing someone
Ghostly Wail = A sonic scream that can hit multiple targets. (Overuse can make him revert back to human )
Ghost Clones = Duplicate his form in two's and four's
Ghost Stinger = Advanced form of Ghost Ray
Ice Powers = Ice crystals,swords,snowballs icy blast
(Yes it's an cannon character. I liked the show for a long time)
This may not last. I made it as part of an "introduce yourself online" project.
(Maybe I could use it for an online dating type thing.)

It didn't all end with Nagasaki.
(I'm on episode two of the PBS series 'Israel - A
Twice Promised Land' about the formation of modern Israel.)
It's a neglected period of our postwar behaviour.
Small wonder. It's a disgraceful episode from our
history we choose to neglect.
Made of pure, solidified ectoplasm, astral constructs are crude, but they get the job done. Even psychics need muscle!
Fitting for something made of ectoplasm.

This photograph is issued from a video : The Last Person , in 1998 , by the Irish Artist :
Susan MacWilliam.
‘The Last Person’ was short listed for the 1999 ‘Glen Dimplex Arts Awards’ (Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin).
A strange substance (‘ectoplasm’) emerges from the medium’s mouth; hands appear and spirits are conjured up. The piece is based on the trial of Helen Duncan (1898-1956). Duncan, a medium from Portsmouth was the last person to be tried under the British Witchcraft Act of 1735. The piece uses images of the artist posing as a medium and follows some of the events described in the court reports (‘The Times’ 1944) that followed the trial. The séance room phenomena are recreated and an image of both the seductive and the macabre is presented.
The riotous colours and maniacal expressions of these flying witches carrying parade JOLs is stunning. Their skin is a ghostly white and their hair is flying wildly. The greyish tones in the middle are actually remnants of water damage from the previous owner, however, I think they kind of bleed into the colour palette of the crepe interestingly, almost like mists or ectoplasmic ghostly clouds, and so I find it only mildly noticeable. I have this one framed as well. The maker is Dennison. I wish someone would make a book on the artists who worked for the likes of Dennison, American Tissue Mills, Beistle and Luhrs. They were the real creative muscle behind the success of these companies, not the distributors.
Yūreizaka means "ghost slope" and it was believed that during the Edo period (1603-1868) that this hill was haunted as there were many temples with cemeteries that lined the hill.
Well, the day after the great Tokyo Snowpocalypse of February 8, 2014, I didn't see any ghosts, but I sure saw lots of melting white stuff, turning into a dirty, slushy ectoplasm.
MEAT DOG "What's Fer Dinner" The Fubear Animated short is finally complete and will be airing on X BOX LIVE in about two weeks - will soon post actual air date - here are some never before seen stills...

Went downtown to pay a bill. Saw a ‘Ghost Sign’, not a ghost, a faded sign. I had to get That pic.! Three ‘ghost signs’ later, I remembered a photo challenge. Monument or sculpture. Always wanted a photo of this one, we called it “The Ostrich” .
Below, copied verbatim, is The Artists description as shown on the window .
A point of claity; We have a system of underground tunnels in our downtown connecting many buildings. There are entrances on almost every corner. The underground is filled with beautiful art, restaurants, and shops. One never has to deal with the weather. I visited it once 20 years ago. It was beautiful and the city maintains it well, so I’m sure it still is. However, It made me extremely uncomfortable being down there to the extent I Have NOT been back..!! When I stopped to photograph this, I did not realize it was at a tunnel entrance location, let alone “part” of an entrance.

CURIOUS ORGANISM 2009
Double entendre intended.
On one hand, the objective of this piece is to pique public curiosity in the Underground. On the other, the organism exhibits its own tongue in cheek curiosity of the tunnel and its pragmatic element. The organisi’s optic nerves and tentacles explore the underground with multisensory curiosity. Finally the curious organism is innocently captivated, as we are, by irresistible forces.
For the more serious observer, the work is a commentary on the mesmerizing effects of mainstream media, in all its forms, and how the media successfully exploit the natural curiosity and vulnerability of the human psyche.

Have fun kids, Don’t argue with me, I don't KNOW what it is. And Watch your language.
I am more than happy to share these with skeptics and critiques,

Back on the ghost horse :)
Painted much the same way as the Chainrasps but with a different cloth recipe using Mechanicus Standard Grey, Administratum Grey, Nuln Oil and Ulthuan Grey with some thinned Black for specific shading.
The hafts are a thin coat of Baneblade Brown with a wash of Athonian Camoshade, then rough edge highlights with Administratum Grey and a heavy wash of Nuln Oil.
The skulls are Zandri Dust and Ushabt Bone with an Agrax wash and then detailed washes/lining using an Agrax/Abaddon Black lining mix.
Bases next and whatever stuff I've forgotten.

This slime is great! It can fully blanket a figure, yet peels off perfectly clean!
TEASER! Pink will not be the only color of course! And the white paper is throwing the color off slightly, but it was good for conveying textures! More pics of different colors coming soon.
I will be selling Ecto-Rex in slime barrels reminiscent of the old Ghostbusters and retromutagen ooze TMNT toys that came with figures submerged in slime! There will be 6 colors to choose from (6 different slime colors with matching Ecto-Rexes!) ; Green, blue, black, pink, purple, and red! There will be at least 1 - 3 of each color available! IF they sell out I will buy more slime and make more, but these will be in limited quantities as everything takes time. I will also be making some custom labels to put on the barrels! This slime is also very high quality and to me feels similar to the vintage toys I mentioned! Stay tuned!

One of the more exotic cheeses on the market, ghost cheese is made with the finest churned ectoplasm, hastily collected free-range from haunted castles and cottages across Scotland. The rich texture of the tormented souls delicately trapped inside the cheese tastes simply out of this world and is perfect with a glass of red wine or a hot mug of mulled holy water.
Occasionally you may hear the echoing, faraway cries of entombed spirits, but this only adds to the experience. I found the unearthly shrieks which shook the room as I grated the block over my pasta a little over the top, but overall the lamenting phantom groans which precede each bite fail to detract from the creamy taste, which is altogether another realm of flavour.
