Alfred Kubin Gewitter / Thunderstorm, 1907 ?

In his 1907 painting, Thunderstorm, we have a picture that can be read on a number of levels: it is a fantasy painting, a landscape, a natural history illustration, a view of the cosmos! Look carefully. It is an incredible journey through the micro and macrocosm. A strongly surrealistic image, dealing with layers of meaning and multiple perceptions.

We can see in it: a seahorse that becomes a flying dragon made from moonlit storm clouds against a backdrop of planets, galaxies, and comets, over a tumultuous ocean crashing onto the shoreline, just after sunset, or at the first glimmer of dawn…

Deana Lawson Coulson Family, 2008 Pigment print

Working closely with her subjects on setting, lighting, and pose, photographer Deana Lawson creates intimate depictions of Black bodies interacting in both public and private spaces. The resulting images are formally rigorous in terms of composition—every detail is meticulous and motivated—as well as suggestive of Lawson’s personal connection with those she photographs. - Among Others: Blackness at MoMA, ed.
