reposting because i wasn't feeling it the first time (if youre an artist youd get it)

accidentally catching a temporary exhibition right before it closes and seeing your favourite artist there hits unexpectedly hard

giving myself a little pat on the back because you can tell my art got more dynamic this past year unlike what i had expected

like you're telling me i don't suck at improv as much anymore and don't need to copy references 1:1 all the time?? aww thanks

Long text

if anyone out there is interested in me making more posts like the one on the yt channels and podcast, please do let me know whether that would be helpful in any way, and i will gladly share whatever i have in both german and english

i am also very much open to resource exchange of any kind on the following topics(not limited to, of course):

-imperial germany - main field (militaria, personally looking for stuff like medical reports regarding injuries and treatment of mental and physical illness, militarism)

-history of art (northern renaissance, mexican muralism, expressionism, new objectivity, propaganda art, totalitarian art)

-cold war era

-interwar period (prohibition, weimar republic)

-ww2 eastern front (german+soviet militaria)

(disclaimer: i have limited resources due to the fact that i have only been researching for about a year solid, but it took long enough to find what i have so i want to make it easier for anyone starting from 0 like i did)

when i have a crush i dont kick my feet or twirl my hair instead i am in my kitchen at 3am pacing in circles with my hands clasped behind my back like a middle-aged divorced detective haunted by a cold case he just cant crack

But the hands that built the tower of Babel knew nothing of the dream of the brain that had conceived it. One man's hymns of praise became other men's curses.
