I think how much hatred and revulsion I feel looking at this is the brilliance here.

My biggest beef with Lemmy art communities. I think largely due to restrictions from instances, the image quality is almost always dissapointing here.
She’s a relatively obscure artist. I ran into similar issues. I think she’s housed at the San Diego Museum of Art. The stuff I’ve found on her seems to point out how underappreciated she is as a surrealist, how she references Magritte as an influence. She seems really “slept on.”
To be fair, I couldn’t find this in better quality anywhere else either. I had a hard time finding references to it at all other than an article that didn’t have the picture, and a Reddit and Flickr repost that are the same quality.
