Hieronymus Bosch


Click on these images and let yourself wander through the imagery.  Don't you think the pictures are weirdly engaging and convey the feeling that even though horrific scenes are depicted, it might be fun to touch the glistening fruit or test the ear-handled sharp blade or to climb the delicate ladder into the eggshell behind of the giant person? 
Sometimes an artist can say what is not expected by manipulating how the paint itself appears.  Think about Pearlstein's nudes. (pictures below)  They are too smooth, too naked and appear to have flesh that is around 45 degrees.  Horrific.
