#Friedrich I.

[monstermonger]

I recently bought an art book on Caspar David Friedrich, whose emotional work stuck with me since I first saw it in a museum years ago. Over the course of a few weeks, I read about his life and at the same time did studies/interpretations of many pieces. It was a really enjoyable and fulfilling project; here's a good lot of them together :)

I was happy to see many people enjoyed Friedrich's work+my interpretations while posting them individually. It took way too long, but I FINALLY set up a print shop for some of these + some other pieces for those who expressed interest. Thank you so much!

It is the mid-1800s. You are Karl Marx. You have risen to prominence aming leftist circles, with your scathing attacks in contemporary Capitalism and Imperialism. You hear a knock on your front door. Your front door is shattered.

A very large black dragon, a veteran of the British Millitary, apologizes for the damage. His name is Temeraire, and he is a Member of Parliament.

He has read your work and wishes to discuss it with you.

Never completely understood what Dick meant when he quoted, "When you look into the abyss, the abyss also looks into you."

Nightwing (Vol. 2) #128

Then I found out that the same quote was used by Bruce in BTAS.

Dick: This city would fall apart without you.

Bruce: Maybe. Maybe not. When you look too long into the abyss, the abyss looks back through you. Maybe it's time for Batman to return to the night that spawned him before anyone else gets hurt!

And then Reddit made me realize that's not the entire quote. It's actually, "He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you."

And that makes more sense and helps give context to the last part of the quote. It's interesting because in Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths, Bruce said a deviated version of this quote to Owlman.

"There is a difference between you and me. We both looked into the abyss, but when it looked back at us, you blinked."

In other words, Owlman became the monster.

Too old to do all that fake ass stuff. Be genuine, love hard and make efforts.
