World of no

You guys know how I love Art Nouveau, right? All those swaying nature spirit ladies bent and posed sinuously like vines, with a magical, mystical gaze in their eyes?

Can someone tell me why THIS ARSEHOLE is posing like one? And why the girl looks stiffer and more cramped and fake-smiling beside him, just emphasising the easy, relaxed way his limbs are draped and how his pose is alive with natural fluidity? AND WHAT THE FUCK ARE HIS EYES?

(Click for bigger.)




IT WAS 1919. ART NOUVEAU WAS ALREADY GIVING WAY TO ART DECO. STOP RUINING MY LIFE LIKE THIS, YOU BASTARD. *sobs* (It really doesn't help to know 1919 was his most degenerate sex-and-drugs-and-cabaret year ever, either.)

I honestly can't get over that pose. Whether it was him or someone else, I'd just be staring at that and unfing over the drapeage the way I sigh over at a Mucha print or something. It's total art porn.

But... but... HOW? WHY? And why don't they make people like that any more? Can... can Romanticism seriously come back as a mainstream Thing? *please?*

i give up, scans, conrad veidt, how did you even exist, sobbing, art nouveau, romanticism
