Yayoi Kusama

Yayoi Kusama (1929, Japan) is an extremely influential avant-garde artist. It is hard to describe exactly what type of artist she is, because she has done a little bit of everything! Kusama is most famous for her “infinity” environments, which are made up of twinkling LED lights and reflecting waters. These infinity rooms merge science and mysticism, both inner and outer space. Kusama also has pop art statements that have influenced Andy Warhol. She has used polka dots and nets as motifs in her artwork since the age of ten. Kusama’s work has been featured in museums all over the world including New York, Los Angeles, Paris, Amsterdam, London, Tokyo, Minneapolis, and Arizona.

Stiff Pose Victorian Postmortem photography (140 Pics)

Postmortem photography or memento mori, the photographing of a deceased person, was a common practice in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The photographs were considered a keepsake to remember the dead. Child mortality was high during the Victorian era. For many children even a common sickness could be fatal. When a child or other family member died, families would often have a photograph taken before burial. Many times it was the first and last photograph they would ever possess of their loved one. Many postmortem photographs were close-ups of the face or shots of the full body. The deceased were usually depicted to appear as if they were in a deep sleep, or else arranged to appear more life-like. Children were often shown on a couch or in a crib, often posed with a favorite toy. It was not uncommon to photograph very young children with a family member, most frequently the mother. Adults were more commonly posed in chairs or even propped up on something.
