Many of his works depict sin and human moral failings.
Bosch used images of demons, half-human animals and machines to evoke fear and confusion to portray the evils of man.
What the heck is going on in his paintings? For a man that lived before the age of dropping acid, he sure was trippy.
The more you look, the more you see. The more you see, the more you wonder how you didn’t notice something the first time around.
He really liked drawing birds and butts, had a passion for knives and fish, and had a thing for eggs and ears. He loved putting objects on people’s heads and stuffing bodies into cauldrons. It seems to me that he gave a lot of thought to bestiality and what sort of creatures a man and an animal could create together.
There is not a single painting of his that doesn’t make me go what the actual fuck?
What was he like to talk to?
Supposedly his paintings incorporated symbolic figures and iconography that those of his era might have understood – the operative word here being might. I think that he went over people’s heads. He used the symbols as a springboard and he lept viewers into his mental abyss.
His Heaven and his hell look nearly the same to me.
He knew what pain looked like.
I think that he has gotten reincarnated a couple of times already –Dalí, Giger, Gaudi, Escher.
It’s almost like he knew that he was born too soon and he was anticipating the era of movies.
