I know I need to give this a rest, but I just can't, the material is just too cool....
This is a photo of Ruth by Louise Dahl-Wolf
from Harper's Bazaar.
Here she is again.
LOVE that coat.
No wonder Mr. Faulkner was smitten.
As was Andy.
Here is her brother's lover, Pavel Tchelitchew
at work in his studio.
Charles Henri Ford in a costume designed by
Salvador Dali.
Photograph by Cecil Beaton.
Come on!
Ruth and Henri collected Pavel's work during his lifetime and after.
All of these paintings hung in their apartment in the Dakota
where they famously entertained.
These skull paintings/drawings start normally....
Then start getting weird....
And weirder....
And then creepy....
And then abstract....
Turning geometric....
The skull starts to disappear....
Finally EXPLODING into the
COSMOS!!!!!
oooh I'll take geometric
