More pictures!

Unfriendly caricatures. Obviously.


I can't believe that this one and the next are both by Boze. It doesn't seem possible. I also have to wonder what Marat's sister was doing with this decidedly creepy portrait of Maxime.


What is it with pupil-less sculptures?

It's mini!Robespierre!

Why must people scupt him scowling?

Ah. *sighs* I think you can guess my feelings on this sculpture. I mean, LOOK AT IT!!! *sighs* 

What is with the nose?

Why is the wig smushed?

Stupid Vendéens. This is what the medallion says on the back (since it's hard to read): "SA MORT MIT FIN A SON PARTI--ET 22 TETES TOMBENT EN MEME TEMPS. COUTHON. HENRIOT. ST. JUST. ETC. ETC."

Is it normal to stick a man and his would-be assassin face to face on a medal?

That's all for now...same questions as last time, by the way, if you would.

....I'm resisting the urge to make a questionable remark.

I like scowling!Robespierre. He looks so randomly evil. XD

All the different noses are slightly worrying, though.

Why? You know how I feel about questionable remarks;)

I believe that was the artist's intention.

Sometimes I think, in the case of sculptures, they just forgot that last detail...

...Um. Sheltering the innocent?

It worked. He needs little devil horns and a pitchfork. XD

Probably.

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

I? Innocent? If you say it...

*snort* I should like it better if such sentiments were in the open than concealed in irony like that portrait of him with the halo...

[josiana.livejournal.com]

...You could've been. *sulk*

I've never seen that. It sounds hysterical, though.

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

Well, since I'm manifestly not, make what inappropriate comments you will.

Do a google image search for Robespierre--you'll find it.

[josiana.livejournal.com]

I'll remember that in the future. ^_^

I will at some later point. XD

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

But then, am I not to hear the one you had to make in this instance?

[josiana.livejournal.com]

...*has a goldfish-like memory* Um. It was probably something to do with masturbation. I really should make notes, or something, so I don't forget this stuff.

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

*snort* Pity you don't remember; I'm sure it would have been amusing. If you think of it...

[josiana.livejournal.com]

At least you're spared the scarring mental images this way.

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

Oh, but in my case the old scars are always replaced with new ones, so it doesn't matter much....

[josiana.livejournal.com]

That sounds extremely useful.

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

*grins* Indeed.
