About this deal

German artist Michael Hutter‘s fantasy-based paintings are distinctly reminiscent of Hieronymus Bosch. Tutti was pushed back and forth, swinging above the audience, and began pissing on them through the heart. The term Decadent was originally intended to be disparaging—but Baudelaire and Rops considered it a suitable description of their lifestyle and work.

These 80 images between them display the full range of Felicien Rops' darkest subject matter, revolving around his Baudelairean fusion of sex, death and Satan; they also run the gamut of the artistic techniques Rops employed and reveal the driving obsession and skill behind his work. He actually only painted men a couple of times in his career, and they’re depicted as crippled creatures, lying on the floor. At HuffPost, we believe that everyone needs high-quality journalism, but we understand that not everyone can afford to pay for expensive news subscriptions.

Maybe we’re holding a mirror up to our flaws, to our darkest thoughts, to the tightrope we balance on between breaking the rules and living by them. By 1860, he says, the demand for daguerrotypes had effectively overshadowed the demand for illustrations.

When Berlin’s Schinkel Pavillon announced its current exhibition, which pairs the work of the late Swiss surrealist HR Giger with the kinetic sculptures and alchemical installations of the South Korean artist Mire Lee, curator Agnes Gryczkowska knew it would raise eyebrows. The magazine made both men (in)famous—Rops was even challenged to a duel after one particular provocative attack. This led Rops to co-found the Société Libre des Beaux-Arts—a group set up to promote “realism” in art in 1868.

Pictures in this series such as The Sacrifice and Calvary are clear and explicit representations of the Black Mass and Satanism which still retain their original power to shock and disturb. I’d say that only a handful of artists throughout history were successful in inventing a unique universe that extends to every detail of their body of work – a Gesamtkunstwerk, I suppose.

Rops thought their wardrobes were bizarre and fantastic and their flesh feverishly seductive, the product of a decadent society of which they were the most exotic flowers. Satan’s accomplice, [a woman who] becomes the supreme attraction which provokes the most extreme vices and torments in Man, a mere puppet. Luckily, the infernal erotica of "devilries" lives on today, thanks to individuals like Stewart, who are willing to share their illustrated oddities online.

Set in Retiro Park, Madrid, this “Fountain of the Fallen Angel” is a major tourist attraction of the Spanish capital. not confined himself, like his predecessors, to rendering the attitudes of bodies swayed by passion, but has elicited from flesh on fire the sorrows of fever-stricken souls, and the joys of warped minds; he has painted demonic rapture as other have painted mystical yearnings. Unframed prints ship in a sturdy reinforced cardboard "crush-proof" tube that is twice as thick as anyone else in the industry to avoid damage to the art while in shipment. No, because Giger was working with the concept of fetish and the exploration of deep, dark eroticism. But the presence of these elements indicate a sense of voluptuousness which distinguishes Rops from many other artists.
