Raw meat and poofy lips

An appropriately named flower if I ever encountered one. Chaim Soutine was an Expressionist known for his macabre paintings of skinned animals and slabs of meat. Now, why someone would breed a rose to look like raw bacon is beyond me.

A few weeks ago, my humanities class finally got to the late nineteenth century. Horay for Impressionism and Post-Impressionism! But somehow we zipped through without even touching the Pre-Raphaelites. Eh well, pale damsels with pouty lips aren't too exciting anyway.

I must admit, Waterhouse has an amazing touch with atmosphere.
